Staff responsible for commercial and performance aspects of the Work Programme are part of the Department’s Finance Group. Commercial staff work closely alongside Performance staff who focus their activities on further driving up performance with those suppliers. This approach allows greater flexibility and efficiency in deploying staff across the Department’s portfolio of contracts. This approach fits with best practice endorsed by Cabinet Office.
