The formation of DBS will bring together a range of corporate services that have previously been delivered by different parts of the MOD from across the Top Level Budgets (TLBs).
The DBS will serve the whole of the MOD through one service delivery organisation managed through one top management structure. The first pillars in this new organisation will be formed by:-
- Civilian HR (provided by PPPA and civilian HR staff from the TLBs)
- Finance (principally provided by Financial Management Shared Services Centre) and
- some parts of Information and Commercial.
Other areas from within MOD will join progressively and may include some Commercial, Vetting (provided by the Defence Vetting Agency (DVA) and Military HR (provided by Service Personnel and Veterans Agency (SPVA). All are expected to be in place by 2013.
