KWINK Public Sector Consultancy Services

KWINK provides public sector consultancy services. Our consultants have served clients in The Netherlands and abroad on various themes in different sectors:

• We have performed a number of leading evaluation studies, such as the evaluations of the Public Procurement Directive (2014), the innovative ‘Green Deal’ approach (2013), and the Netherlands Competition authority (2010). We use qualitative research methods (interviews, questionnaires) as well as desk study and quantitative research methods.
• We performed audits and supported authorities in subsidy awarding processes, like the subsidies for performing arts (2013) and the awarding process of the 2.3 billion grant for Dutch Civil Society Organisations (MFSII – 2011).
• We have executed international benchmarks on the regulation of Food Safety (2013) and Consumer Protection (2012).
• We specialize in the development of performance indicators and incentives. KWINK helped numerous municipalities, regulators, and NGOs with measuring what really matters, aligning their objectives, and creating structures that reward behaviour that advances the organization’s goals.
• We advise authorities on safety and security. We have developed a European handbook of best practices in High Speed Rail security and have performed risk analyses of critical infrastructure (gas, electricity).
• We facilitate strategy development processes, such as the process towards the new strategy of the European Cooperation in the field of legal metrology (WELMEC – 2014). KWINK also structured the development of the Dutch joined efforts to reduce overweight (2012). We also regularly advise international authorities and regulators how to cooperate with state-own companies and vice versa.
