Get to know us
Services and history..
Our journey founding CMC and Associates began in the corridors of the NHS and across the private healthcare landscape. Through the procurement, negotiation and management of national and local tech contracts, our team has witnessed first hand the complexities, the missed opportunities, and—most importantly—the ethical gaps that can occur when suppliers don't act as partners and aren't held to account.
We have seen how often healthcare organisations were locked into terms that didn’t serve them or their patients. This sparked a deep-seated passion for a better way of doing business.
We believe that ethical contract management isn't just a 'nice to have'; it is a necessity for the future of healthcare. Business ethics can be a contractual requirement!
This founded this company to provide organisations with support in receiving the level of service and commercial transparency and fairness we see from top tier socially responsible, ethically operated companies. Our team has operated on both sides of the table, meaning our a services are rooted values driven delivery, commercial excellence, transparency, and a relentless commitment to doing what is right for the client.
People and culture..
At CMC and Associates, our culture is built on a single mission: restoring integrity to contract management. We founded this consultancy to bridge the transparency gap we witnessed firsthand within the NHS and private healthcare. We don't just manage agreements; we apply a rigorous ethical framework to ensure our clients receive the accountability and value they deserve.
Our values drive our delivery. We fight for fair commercial terms, lead tough renegotiations with courage, and hold suppliers to the highest standards. By treating every contract as a commitment to the public good, we protect the commercial interests of healthcare and tech innovators with absolute integrity.
As an Association, we are a collective of specialists, not a corporate hierarchy. This structure is a deliberate choice: it allows us to draw on a vast breadth of expertise from across the Health and Tech sectors, ensuring that every client benefits from a diverse range of veteran perspectives. By operating as an association, we empower our experts to lead with a shared ethical compass, ensuring our mission remains at the heart of every negotiation.
This independence is vital. It gives our people the freedom to challenge the status quo and hold suppliers to account without compromise. We aren’t driven by a traditional corporate bottom line; we are driven by a commitment to the public good. For us, this isn’t just business—it is a mission to deliver the transparent, expert service that we believe is essential for the future of healthcare.
As an inclusive organisation we will work with anyone with the right values to support those who do not!
