Many organisations fail to get the best out of their PMO. The wide variety of functions that can fall within the remit of the PMO raises difficult questions such as which entity within the business structure owns the delivery of projects, programmes and portfolios.
​
At PMO Central, we understand that PMOs can be implemented in a variety of ways and should be tailored to the needs of each individual business.
​
With expertise across various industries, from large scale Enterprise PMOs managing all PPM functions and resources, to smaller decentralised support teams, PMO Central can utilise these insights to help your business via our bespoke consultancy or support services.

"Our goals are to partner with clients to improve their project, programme and portfolio management functions, and to provide a trusted team of professionals as a flexible extension to client delivery teams."
Market beating rates
We offer services at client sites across the UK and Ireland, or offsite at our premises in Northern Ireland. In our experience 90% of the activities of junior to mid-level PMO and Project Management can be delivered offsite, and this is where our solution really shines allowing us to offer market beating rates from a nearshore location that is less than 1 hours flight-time to all major cities in the UK should you need us onsite.
​
We estimate a typical organisation can save 30% on resourcing costs with PMO Central as a partner. Even for fully onsite contracts we can offer expertise and competitive rates while bringing a number of advantages over an independant contractor sourced via a recruitment agency.
For all our clients we recommend that a Senior Consultant spends some time with you onsite (anywhere from a week to several weeks), building relationships with stakeholders in your organisation, understanding your project or programme needs, your current project delivery framework; your resourcing requirements, and building out a vision, roadmap and solution together.

A complete IR35 solution
We are aware of the challenges facing businesses in attracting temporary talent where the role is deemed to be Inside IR35.
One of the main challenges is that independent contractors will not be able to relocate while unable to claim travel, accomodation and subsistence expenses (an Inside IR35 determination means that the independant contractor is deemed to be "not self-employed" therefore no such business expenses are allowed). This has resulted in a situation whereby any business attempting to hire Inside IR35 can only realistically attract talent from a local catchment area, a siesmic shift away from the UK's previously flexible economy.
Businesses should expect difficulty, delay, and perhaps failure in sourcing suitable and willing candidates via the common recruitment agency route for Inside IR35 roles.
Our services are an ideal solution, completely removing the IR35 headache from your organisation while placing your project requirements into the hands of a professional partner organisation.
