As the United Kingdom's (UK) biggest public service department, we operate on a scale that is almost unmatched anywhere in Europe and most people in Britain come into contact with us at some point in their lives.

Contract Management & Partner Delivery Directorate (CMPD) is a Corporate Team within DWP.

The role of CMPD is to ensure that our contracted employment and health suppliers deliver the outcomes the customer needs and the service quality DWP can be proud of.

We play a vital part in shaping the future of contracted employment and health provisions


Current CMPD structures include:

  • Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Work Capability Assessment (WCA) auditor roles responsible for quality assuring assessment reports written by our assessment suppliers; and
  • PIP and WCA observer roles responsible for quality assuring assessments undertaken by our suppliers.


Through this campaign we are seeking to create a virtual pool of healthcare professionals who will utilise their expertise to identify and help implement improvements across the end-to-end journey as auditor and or observer in respect of PIP or WCA assessments.


It's an incredibly exciting time to be working in CMPD and this is a fantastic opportunity to join a Department that touches the lives of citizens the length and breadth of the UK.

What we do matters.
