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.
