Supporting the programmes are a Portfolio, Programme and Project Management (P3M) Team (with specialists in Risk, Schedules, Benefits, Finance, Communications, Acceptance and Governance), and an Acquisition Portfolio Team (covering Portfolio Definition, Assurance and Governance).

Defence Marine Services Next Generation (DMS-NG) is a DNA Programme based in HMNB Portsmouth.
