The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) has set itself a tough target of 70% of one-off or occasional clients adopting best practice over the next few years.
This announcement came hot on the heels of the OGC's construction and development divisions being merged.
OGC wants to push the improvement of procurement knowledge across government into top gear following the foundation work laid by former construction director Deryk Eke, who has returned to BAA after his secondment.
The two merged departments are now known as the performance improvement division, which is split between three managers. They are: Mike Burt, formerly in charge of disposals but now in charge of project sponsors, providing advice to one-off or occasional government clients; Michael Corcoran, who will take control of procurement advice to departments that do not need a project sponsor but need general advice; and Arnold Butler, who has experience in property and was previously an estate surveyor, and will have direct liaison with the industry as he oversees the new division.
A review of the results on how far the Achieving Excellence initiative has come has been completed by Eke and is expected out in the next few weeks.
