Central Government

The Government & Public Sector team at PricewaterhouseCoopers has been helping government and public sector organisations locally, regionally, nationally and internationally for many years.

We help organisations across sectors as diverse as health, education, transport, home affairs, criminal justice, local government, housing, social welfare, defence and international development.

In addition to these areas, we work across the full range of other central Government departments including BERR, DEFRA, DCMS, DFID, the Cabinet Office and HM Treasury. Many of our team have public sector backgrounds and a substantial number are on secondment to public sector entities at any point in time.
