An organisational chart for the structure of the Commercial Directorate has been placed in the Library.

The relationships between the Commercial Directorate and the Provision Delivery and Performance Division (Work, Welfare and Equality Group Delivery Directorate) cannot be explained through an organisational chart. However, the Provision Delivery and Performance Division is the primary link to the Commercial Directorate for the sourcing and management of commercially delivered employment programmes.

The Provision Delivery and Performance Division has responsibility for:

development of the Work, Welfare and Equality Group's commissioning and market strategy for employment programmes;

financial allocations for third party programme provision;

monitoring contracted employment programmes;

Department for Work and Pensions' input to the European Social Fund programme; and

delivering ongoing product support to existing programmes.

Within the Commercial Directorate, the relationship with the Work, Welfare and Equality Group is led by the Commercial Employment Provision team. This has the role of:

providing commercial advice on the development of new welfare to work initiatives that involve commercial delivery;

developing and leading sourcing approaches for individual programmes;

managing performance by suppliers throughout the life of contracts; and

managing the development of the supplier market in line with the Commissioning Strategy, published in February 2008 (Cmnd 7330).

Sample role descriptions for the following posts have been placed in the Library:

Field Financial Appraisal and Monitoring (FAM) team member;

Third Party Provision Manager; and
