Commercial is an agile and dynamic team with a positive culture. We embrace change and drive continuous improvement.
The Department has grown significantly in recent years, leading to greater demand and need for procurement and commercial support. The Commercial Directorate has embarked on a transformation journey and continue to improve our systems, processes and capabilities to meet the needs of the Department.
The Commercial Directorate is made up of key pillars to provide cross-functional support to government programmes and policies: Assurance, Governance, Procurement, Policy, and Supply Chains.
This allows the team to successfully manage the commercial risk profile of the Department; deliver goods and services that demonstrate value for money; and implement government policy and initiatives to achieve social value.
We collaborate and engage with our Arm Lengths Bodies to support our key sectors.
