Our Delivery Models as an Integrated Capability Partner (ICP)

Two models designed to amplify our SMVEs capabilities.

Integrated Delivery Partner

SMVE Consortium Delivery

Even if you offer one specialist service, MARK III unites you with other SMVEs to deliver projects beyond the reach of a single business. As your Integrated Delivery Partner, we manage contracts, risk, and governance, keeping you visible while helping you scale.

Customer contracts with MARK III → We unite pre-vetted and capability-aligned SMVEs → Consortium delivers assured outcomes → Transparency and reporting at every step.

How It Works

1

Opportunity Distributed - MARK III distributes major project opportunities within our SMVE ecosystem.

2

Delivery Team Assembled - SMVEs register interest; pre-vetted, security-cleared partners evaluated and capability-aligned into a delivery consortium.

3

Assured outcomes - The consortium delivers with MARK III as the single point of accountability.

4

Transparent reporting & assurance - Governance, risk, and performance visibility at every step.
