We support the management of our contracts across the department, its agencies and non departmental public bodies.

• Overseeing measures and records realisation of benefits achieved as a result of the performance management regime (or change controls)
• Actively reconsidering market approach over time, including shifting balance of mixed market towards private sector provision and examining whether re-aggregation will yield scale efficiencies
• Leading all planning and preparation, goal setting, strategy and tactics for re-procurement and undertaking soft market testing
• Helping to drive innovation in contracts to demonstrate continuous improvement. Continually analysing contracts in order to develop and drive value adding initiatives
• Tracking operational demand and patterns on an ongoing basis and introducing demand management mechanisms where applicable
