Summary

One of the highest priorities for the Civil Service is improving commercial capability across Government, a priority being driven by the Commercial & Contract Management Capability Programme (CCMCP). Annual central government commercial spend on goods and services is c.£50bn and if you include the wider public sector this figure is almost £300bn - even the smallest improvements in capability can unlock massive value across the system.

Phase one of the CCMCP established the Government Commercial Organisation (GCO) – as the single central employer of commercial specialists at Grade 6 and above for central government. As part of the drive to improve commercial capability the GCO provides services to attract, recruit, retain and develop the best senior commercial talent, helping to drive commercial best practice and better commercial outcomes.

Phase two of the CCMCP has been expanding the improvement of commercial capability across three new populations; (1) Commercial Leads (Grade 7s) in Central Government Departments; (2) Wider Government Bodies; (3) Contract Managers. Planning is underway to transition this work into business-as usual (BAU).

The work of the PMO now spans both our change and some critical business-as-usual (BAU) activities and is key to ensuring an optimal projects portfolio for transformation and strong business performance. The PMO now has three distinct areas of focus 1) The delivery of our major projects portfolio 2) performance management and 3) governance management and project support. However, all three areas need to work together to deliver maximum value for the business and our key stakeholders.
