• Workstream Lead, Routes to Market (RTM)

  • Apr 2018 - Apr 2019

  The Ministry of Defence (MOD) presently source over £20bn-a-year of goods and services that are used to support our armed forces. The majority of this spend is managed by Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S), the MOD-owned delivery agency that is based at Abbey Wood, near Bristol. Routes to Market (RTM) is a strategic change management programme that, when implemented, will result in a step-change in the approach to the sourcing of the equipment and support sourced by DE&S as well as the realisation of financial and non-financial efficiencies across all areas of the acquisition process. RTM comprises six 'building blocks', each of which focuses on a specific stage of the sourcing and acquisition process. The Sourcing Council and Assurance workstream is focusing on one of the 'building blocks' and involves: - helping the customer implement processes to better define their requirements during the pre-sourcing process; - implementing an intelligent, agile and dynamic sourcing council that will assist with delivering a strong endorsement of commercial (and other) strategy; and - (working closely with colleagues in Defence) to develop and implement a modern assurance and approvals framework that is more proportionate to the level of risk associated with the acquisition. RTM is being delivered by Paragon Commercial Delivery Partner, a joint venture between Mace Limited and Turner and Townsend Limited. Other organisations involved with Paragon include EY, Efficio, and Gardiner & Theobold. Show less
