Text

CPD operates on a full cost-recovery basis for its procurement and project delivery services under an agreed memorandum of understanding with its clients. The hourly charges for its services are published on the website and are in line with 'Managing Public Money'. CPD's clients are provided with estimates of fees at the initiation of a project, and the estimates are monitored throughout the project. It operates under a range of published key performance indicators, and its performance against those is published annually. It is also subject to internal and external scrutiny to ensure that its functions are efficient and cost-effective. CPD meets Departments biannually to review service delivery and charges over the previous six months.
