To achieve these objectives Associated Consultants and Partners (ACP) following a steady expansion in the workload introduced in 1983 two partners from Sir M. MacDonald & Partners (MMP) of Cambridge, England, together with an agreement for the provision of comprehensive professional service and supporting facilities from the British practice as and when required by the Sudanese partnership. In 1987 the partnership of the British members ceased and cooperation with MMP and later Mott MacDonald Group continued on project to project basis. 

The Partnership continued to cooperate with many International Consultancy firms from Europe, Canada and Australia. The Partnership stopped at end of September 2004 and has been converted to a Limited Company to serve the same goals under the same name and offices. During this period ACP was able to develop a core of permanent staff and qualified professional engineers supported by technicians, draughts men and other supporting staff. Part-time Consultants and Experts in complementary fields eg. Agriculture, animal production, urban and rural development are engaged for the duration of specific projects. 

The ACP office is now equipped with all facilities required for carrying out studies, designs and supervisory assignment. Office facilities include drafting and printing equipments, survey equipments, an up-to-date comprehensive technical library and in house computers and word processors.
