DA is the custodian of delivery tools and standards for the Market Unit (MU) and leads on how the MU intercepts other tools and processes. The function works across the MU to assure and analyse the delivery performance across contracts and engagements, specifically to:
1. Identify MU cross-cutting delivery and commercial risks
2. Support Continuous Improvement (CI) by propagating best practice across all areas thereby improving consistency and predictability
3. Produce MI for MU management

The core DA assurance activities i.e. e-Monitoring Weekly Assessment Reviews (WAR), Delivery Assurance Reviews (DAR) and Continuous Improvement (CI) support the DA delivery streams. The streams are as follows:

• Contract: this stream is focussed on delivering against the contractual obligations where these cut across multiple engagements.
