Mr. Joe Ryan:

The CMSUs are there to provide an ongoing service. It is not that they will work through a process auditing every organisation. They are part of the work done but they are there as a support unit, as indicated by the title. It is to help local managers to ensure they are meeting all the governance framework requirements, as well as the organisations themselves.

The external reviews are entirely separate, but the recommendations from those reviews still have to be implemented in several areas. The contract management support units, CMSUs, are intended to assist with that work.
