It provides a means for independent consultants to cooperate and work together on contracts and projects normally of a size and technical complexity that moves it beyond the reach of the single independent consultant. As such Independents who join CCP as consulting partners will be actively encouraged to take ownership of the organisation to ensure it remains focused on both the client and on the people who deliver their expertise through CCP. The CCP website will shortly be available (July 2015) to assist with the registration of interest by independents who see the route to delivering their personal knowledge and expertise through cooperation and collective contribution. The the terms of the Cooperative Consulting Partnership are very clear, once registration has been completed, consultants will be offered to take on the role of "Consulting Partner".
