About Us

Established in 2005 by founding CEO, Mathew Baxter, Echelon is a procurement consultancy specialising in providing advice, support and training to UK public sector organisations large and small, through all stages of the procurement process, from scoping and pre-procurement to contract award and mobilisation.

We have significant experience and expertise in delivering procurement consultancy services and specialise in strategic projects, primarily in the field of asset management, for clients in the affordable housing sector.

Echelon prides itself on developing tailored solutions for each commission rather than using a “one-size-fits-all” approach. We work collaboratively with clients, taking the time to understand their business and to find solutions that will improve service delivery.

Innovative models

We’ve developed a number of original models over the years including a ‘lean’ approach to the Competitive Dialogue (CD) route for the procurement of complex, long-term contracts, focusing on key elements of the service in a few concentrated sessions, as well as our Price Per Property model.

We’re always looking for innovative delivery models and have created wholly-owned subsidiaries including Celtic Horizons (United Welsh), Templer HomeBuild (Teign Housing), and RHP providing alternatives to traditional insource/outsource models and creating “one-team” cultures with significant benefits.
