Much of the work that enables delivery sits beyond Tier 1, carried out by Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers who provide specialist inputs, local services, and delivery support. When engagement is limited to Tier 1 interfaces, visibility into who is delivering, what inputs are being provided, and how prepared delivery partners are often arrives too late — surfacing only once schedules, cost, or quality are already under pressure. These deeper tiers operate through dense relationship networks, meaning misalignment at this level can quickly impact delivery outcomes upstream.
SMEs, which make up the majority of the Tier 2/3 market, are often unevenly onboarded. As expectations around onboarding, reporting, and local content increase, suppliers are frequently asked to provide the same information multiple times, in different formats, and at different points in the project lifecycle. This creates a gap between the expectations placed on Tier 2/3 and SME suppliers and the engagement pathways available to them, increasing mobilisation risk and administrative load.
Our approach focuses on enabling consistent, delivery onboarding and data capture across Tier 2, Tier 3, and SME delivery partners. We provide a coordinated interface that supports early engagement, mobilisation readiness, and structured capture of essential delivery information and evidence. By embedding onboarding and data capture into delivery workflows, we reduce rework, improve traceability, and support repeatable participation — allowing delivery teams to maintain momentum without introducing standalone exercises or new systems.
Early mobilisation frequently exposes gaps in Tier 2/3 delivery inputs and readiness information, creating delays, rework, and follow-up during delivery. We help delivery organisations capture and maintain essential onboarding and readiness information upfront, enabling smoother mobilisation and more reliable delivery reporting.
Most consultancies avoid talking about simpler approaches because it risks shifting attention away from large-scale solutions. We take a different view. In many organisations, the majority of visibility and back end challenges can be addressed through lean, high-integrity systems, smarter data standards, well-defined workflows, and accountable ownership. We recognise that systems are only as good as the people that use them—and the incentives and decisions that shape how they are used. Which is why our focus is on building data foundations that fit the realities of the project. Not more systems, but clearer evidence and earlier signals.
We partner with clients to build an independent, evidence-based view of suppliers, partners, and program teams, translating delivery priorities into clear outcomes that strengthen industries and communities alike.
Our core belief is that strong, consistent delivery relies on a different set of expertise at each stage of a program, while apply lean, easy to embed solutions that are both effective and impact. We bring together complementary skills sets — from market and supplier insight to mobilisation and delivery support—anchored by a dedicated client service team.
We map delivery functions and workflows, examining how systems, processes, and people interact to understand where performance and capability can be strengthened.
We support readiness early and maintain visibility of it throughout delivery, supporting delivery as activity scales, strengthening alignment across partners.
We simplify how information flows are shared and used across project teams. At Galloway & Pierce, efficiency is about creating a coherent and more connected view of delivery.

Improving supplier outcomes by expanding access to procurement opportunities, supporting capability growth, and advancing responsible sourcing practices.
Do you have a reliable, independent view of performance and compliance across all delivery partners? For most organisations, disconnected systems and self-reported data make visibility difficult, leaving leadership uncertain about where risk or non-compliance actually sits.
Galloway & Pierce strengthens delivery by helping clients develop a clearer understanding of the supplier ecosystems surrounding their local works programs and capital projects. We take a program-wide view of supplier participation, providing visibility across pipelines of work and showing how supplier engagement change across projects and tiers over time.
By making supplier interactions, dependencies, and points of overlap visible, we help delivery teams coordinate more effectively and create clearer, more intentional pathways for delivery, supplier participation, and broader impact.
Gain programme-wide visibility of how local and national suppliers contribute across work packages, scopes, and delivery stages — helping manage risk and demonstrate compliance.
Simplify oversight and embed data flows to show how engagement shifts through design, construction, and handover — supporting coordination, performance management, and project progression.
Organise network information to clarify roles, dependencies, and interfaces — helping teams coordinate activity, manage risk, and maintain continuity across complex transport networks.
Coordinate data across programmes to support readiness, compliance, and local participation — helping teams evidence capability, track performance, and meet assurance requirements.
Provide transparent, traceable visibility of participation and performance across programmes — supporting assurance, accountability, and confidence in public investment outcomes.
Maintain consistent visibility of provider participation across operations to support qualification, compliance, and governance requirements in safety-critical environments.
As reporting grows, it no longer follows delivery. It runs alongside it, distributing focus and changing how suppliers operate throughout the project.
Efficiency-driven consolidation can simplify delivery, but it also reshapes supplier participation, capability pathways, and the supply ecosystem.
