EUROPE: UK public sector expenditure on management consultants continues to grow.
The UK Management Consultancy Association has published figures showing that public sector expenditure on management consultants increased by 23% in 2005 to £2.2bn. The wider drive to contract out services by local and central government and their agencies has been estimated to lead to an outsourcing market that will be worth £64bn by 2009. This is, however, not a risk free environment; Accenture recently quit the controversial NHS IT modernisation project and, in the process, made a provision of £240m against potential losses.
