Portfolio Assurance

Portfolio Assurance

Lantos is committed to ensuring clients are provided with comprehensive and effective range of Portfolio Assurance services taking full account of the “4 lenses of assurance” which reflect Spend, Standards, Service and Commercial factors.  

Our assurance consultancy and practices remain aligned with Government Digital Service (GDS) and Government Commercial Function (GCF) digital, technology and commercial standards. 

For private sector clients, particularly those organisations who support delivery of government services, we are proud to offer a new portfolio assurance service called “Bid and Proposal Assurance”. By leveraging our Cabinet Office standards and spend assurance experience, we aid suppliers with establishing greater confidence on their draft tender bids and proposal documents. We conduct an independent, standards-driven, detailed “critical friend” style assurance review exercise designed to draw out questions, clarifications, risks/issues and offer key recommendations to improve the bid or proposal quality prior to its final submission.

To support UK Central government departments, agencies and ALBs, we are proud to offer a new portfolio assurance service called “Digital and Technology Spend Controls Pipeline Implementation” this year. This enables government organisations to setup and better manage their Digital and Technology Controls Pipeline process and function so they can confidently ensure Cabinet Office spend controls compliance.

Lantos believes that Portfolio Assurance should be part of people’s “everyday thinking” to help realise the highest quality outcomes and delivery confidence of their products and services.
