I'm in the process of ramping up a UX consultancy shop right now, and we're approaching a lot of smaller shops and offering ourselves as a resource. We've already established a relationship with one and so far so good.
We're keen on this model as it lets us focus on providing UX services without falling into the trap of becoming a one-stop shop (which in my experience tends to lead to problems- it's the reason why we broke off and started our own thing). Mind you, we can do non-UX related execution but prefer to take that work on on a case by case basis and it always is a result of the UX work rather than separate from it.
