It realised that its existing guidance needed to be updated, and so Bryan reviewed the guidance from a performance perspective, and delivered a report summarising what needed to be done to make the guidance effective when delivered through the ODPM's intranet. He also provided ongoing consultancy services to the small team writing the guidance.

Following on from this he designed an e-learning programme that took learners through case studies of different types of procurement, showing them how and where to use the new guidance to solve typical problems.

An important element of the e-learning were 'mini-tutorials', which were available by hyperlink from both the e-learning and the guidance. Acting as performance support materials, these allowed people reading the guidance and coming across more complex subjects, to study a short sequence that explained and provided a simple self-assessment test.
