Recommendation
The Department also recognised that it needs to build up its commercial capability to enable it to act as an intelligent client and to manage the range of suppliers effectively. It stated that it had been too optimistic in its assumptions about the work required to integrate suppliers and is looking to increase its commercial capability. The Department stated that ultimately it bears the risk of managing these commercial arrangements effectively and cannot transfer this to its suppliers.64
