Recommendation
We asked the Department about its commercial capability. It confirmed that this was on its “worry list” prior to the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to be a challenge.24 The Department stated that it has an ongoing programme of contract training with some 972 learners across health (DHSC, ALBs and NHS) registered for the Foundation Training, of which 450 achieved accreditation. At 31 March 2021, the Department had over 700 new contracts with a value of over £12 billion still active.25
