At Opex Consulting, we believe the most effective outcomes happen when technical insight, contract understanding, and stakeholder collaboration align. Whether we’re resolving FM disputes, supporting handback readiness, or delivering statutory audits or turnaround services, our methodology is always the same: fair, factual, and follows industry best practice to optimise the best solutions.
We are 100% independent, meaning we provide impartial, defensible advice to every client, regardless of whether you’re a Project Company, Authority, NHS Trust, FM provider, or investor.
PPP/PFI contracts are complex. Resolving underperformance or planning for handback often means navigating decades-old documentation, entrenched stakeholder positions, and technical detail.
That’s where our approach makes the difference:
We have no affiliation with FM contractors or lifecycle delivery companies. Our analysis is purely contract and evidence-based, free from commercial influence.
We work alongside every stakeholder to ensure alignment, avoid blame, and build solutions everyone can support.
We’re not just auditors.
We support implementation, train your teams, and remain available for commercial or technical advisory input as projects evolve
We understand that real-world delivery involves nuance. Our recommendations balance technical and commercial precision with operational practicality.
We take full ownership of every detail, ensuring nothing is overlooked and every output is delivered with care, diligence, and precision.
Our audit trails, documentation reviews, and contract analyses are thorough and defensible, crafted to withstand scrutiny from any stakeholder.
We do what we say we will do, and we act in line with our values —so our advice always aligns with what’s right, not what is easiest.
We anticipate risks before they escalate, helping clients prepare, plan, and resolve issues before they affect performance or compliance.
We work alongside all parties— Funder, Gov, Authorities, SPVs, and FM providers, ensuring every voice is heard and every solution is jointly owned.
Our consultants take initiative, working autonomously where needed while always keeping clients updated and engaged.
No two PPPs/PFIs are the same. We tailor our tools, approach, and communication style to match your project, your people, and your priorities.
We don’t just point out issues—we actively help resolve them, bridging gaps between contractual obligations and operational delivery.
