Taking the hard work out of soft services
Hello, we’re Cohesion.
We partner with business and schools to provide cost effective strategic sourcing and contract performance management for a broad portfolio of soft services.
We are a dynamic consultancy and we are experts in nurturing highly effective relationships between clients and contractors for mutual gain through sharing values and objectives to create a strong working partnership.
We take the hard work out of soft services management and procurement so our clients can focus on what really matters: improving the quality of daily life for every colleague and student.
What we do
Schools and Businesses are challenging to run. We get it. Rising costs, coupled with increasing demands on services means that clients are stretched to the limit. Long to-do lists, tight budgets and complex contracts require specialist management and an objective, flexible resource just when it is needed.
At Cohesion we do the heavy-lifting for clients as a part of their own team. We take the pain out of procurement and the trauma out of tendering, so that our clients are not working harder than their budgets, adding value and ensuring services operate to a high standard.

We also support clients that are using frameworks to manage the process and administration from the planning phase through to contract award and mobilisation.
Our bespoke cloud-based procurement and auditing platforms deliver quick, cost-effective solutions designed around individual client needs and budgets.
