What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionAs part of the government’s wider Public Bodies Reform agenda, DCMS is looking at how it supports its Arm's Length Bodies (ALBs). The strategic aims of this review are to ensure the right level of Ministerial oversight is in place that optimises delivery of outcomes, consider how to improve citizen experience and access to DCMS-funded services and also identify and consider improvements to any areas that may display inefficiencies including, for example, duplication in processes and activities.
