SCC Business PartneringDelivering advantage through the power of joint capability.

A delivery partner that complements your team

SCC works behind and alongside the Prime. You lead the strategy, the client relationship and the design. We own the delivery underneath it: the infrastructure fulfilment and the service wrap that keeps it running. One accountable partner for the parts you would rather not carry, so the seams close and no supplier gap lands back on your desk.

We do not compete for your client. We will not sit behind two rival bidders on the same deal. Once you pick us and we pick you, we win it or lose together.

Think of it as a delivery force multiplier. More reach, more capacity and more certainty, without another supplier to manage.

Commercial models that free up your client’s budget

Being privately owned gives us the flexibility to create bespoke commercial model’s dependant on project requirements. We can hold that position on our own balance sheet. Your client gets budget back and you get a programme that moves.

The capability on an RFP response can too often look similar across every major integrator. The commercial model is where a programme is won and where SCC does its most useful work.

We can turn technology from a capital cost into an operating one, release the value trapped in kit a client already owns and flex payment across the life of a contract, through defined models like Value Release, Anything as a Service and Software Payment Agreements. One public sector client had tens of millions of pounds of hardware and software sitting idle after budgets were cut. We bought it back, put the money back into the programme and they consumed what they needed as a service.

We protect your position with the client

The question every integrator asks is what happens when SCC also works with a competitor. The answer is straightforward. We take one position on a deal, if we are on your team, we are not behind another bidder on the same opportunity and we hold your commercial and technical information as our own.

We are known to the same clients you serve, because we run a direct business too. This is almost always for a different scope, with limited overlap. Where we appear alongside you, it is as the partner the client already trusts to deliver.

Behind SCC sits 50 years of experience and reinvestment. Innovation centres and market leading active cyber defence solutions, developed ahead of need rather than in response to it. The capability a programme needs three years in is often already in build before you ask.

Private ownership is what lets us invest ahead of need rather than manage to a quarterly number. You appoint us for the programme in front of you and for the one it becomes.
