    Brief

    The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is undertaking a comprehensive review of its Arm's Length Bodies (ALBs) as part of the government's Public Bodies Reform agenda. This consultancy opportunity supports the strategic review which aims to: (1) establish appropriate levels of Ministerial oversight to optimise service delivery and outcomes; (2) enhance citizen experience and improve access to DCMS-funded services; and (3) identify and implement efficiency improvements, including reducing process duplication and streamlining activities. Successful suppliers will help DCMS evaluate current ALB structures and operations, then recommend improvements to governance, service delivery, and operational efficiency.
