  • 1 Inside the 'Black Box': Ten Theses on Employment Services in Britain Ian
    1 Inside the ‘Black Box’: Ten theses on Employment Services in Britain Ian Greer, Lisa Schulte, and Graham Symon Paper presented at the University of Greenwich, June 2014 Summary This report presents initial findings on the UK from a project funded by the Hans-Boeckler-Foundation on the marketisation of employment services in the UK, Germany, and Denmark. We present findings from interviews with front-line staff, managers, claimants groups, and trade unionists, as well as publicly available statistics and reports. We convey what is distinctive about the UK by developing ten theses on the so-called ‘Black Box’, the UK’s highly centralised and privatized approach to organizing services. The Black Box is privatized but keeps marketisation within strict limits. The Black Box involves centralised and contracted-out government contracting. One result is the outsourcing of the DWP’s relations with the voluntary sector and local government to the private sector. The Black Box repackages the risk of policy failure as a financial risk, to be managed with an eye to profitability. The Black Box is dominated by a few ‘prime contractors’, for which scale and scope are advantages. This kind of contracting requires both access to capital and large-scale management capacity. Most organizations in the Black Box operate in a volatile market segment of subcontractors, where contract termination is more common for public and nonprofit providers than for for- profit providers. The Black Box matters for the character of services. It contains strong tendencies toward creaming and parking, despite minimum service requirements and differential pricing. Performance management by the prime contractors is tight and sophisticated.

    DWP Central Freedom of InformationAnnex ATeam e-mail: [email protected] Our Ref: FOI 699 01 March 2012 Annex A Dear Mr Smith, Thank you for your Freedom of Information request which we received on 16 February 2012. In that request, you asked: Please could you provide a list of organisations signed up to provide unpaid work placements under the Mandatory Work Activity and Mandatory Work Programme schemes as referred by Jobcentre Plus, and the name of the linked providers in the Poole and Bournemouth area. The information you have requested is being withheld under Section 43(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, this exemption relates to the commercial interests of the Department for Work and Pensions and any other company or organisation delivering services on our behalf. I consider that the exemption applies because disclosure could, or would be likely to, prejudice the commercial interests of companies providing work-experience placements and the ability of the Department and its contracted providers to work in partnership with these companies to secure such opportunities. In line with the Department’s transparency commitments, we have previously provided information about companies who participate in a number of our programmes that offer work experience, where we can collect this information without disproportionate cost. However, we are now invoking the exemption because it has become clear in recent weeks that there are a minority of people who appear to be seeking to undermine the goodwill of employers who are prepared to offer opportunities to unemployed people by attempting to harm those companies’ commercial interests.

  • A Micro-Econometric Evaluation of the UK Work Programme
    'I, Daniel Blake' revisited: A micro-econometric evaluation of the UK Work Programme Danula K. Gamage∗ Pedro S. Martinsy Queen Mary University of London Queen Mary University of London CRED & NovaSBE & IZA June 19, 2017 Work in Progress Abstract Although many countries are making greater use of public-private partnerships in em- ployment services, there are few detailed econometric analysis of their effects, in contrast to a large body of small-sample or qualitative case studies. This paper contributes to this literature by examining the case of the UK Work Programme, drawing on popula- tion data of all nearly two-million participants between 2011 and 2016. We also exploit the original structure of the programme to disentangle the impact of different provider and jobseeker characteristics from business cycle, cohort, regional and time-in-programme effects. Moreover, we consider both transitions to employment and transitions out of unemployment. Our main results indicate considerable differences in performance across providers and across jobseeker profiles. The latter results suggest that, by changing the incentive structure offered to providers, the government could obtain better results at the same cost.

  • Work Programme Supply Chains
    Work Programme Supply Chains The information contained in the table below reflects updates and changes to the Work Programme supply chains and is correct as at 30 September 2013. It is published in the interests of transparency. It is limited to those in supply chains delivering to prime providers as part of their tier 1 and 2 chains. Definitions of what these tiers incorporate vary from prime provider to prime provider. There are additional suppliers beyond these tiers who are largely to be called on to deliver one off, unique interventions in response to a particular participants needs and circumstances. The Department for Work and Pensions fully anticipate that supply chains will be dynamic, with scope to flex and evolve to reflect change within the labour market and participant needs. The Department intends to update this information at regular intervals (generally every 6 months) dependant on time and resources available. In addition to the Merlin standard, a robust process is in place for the Department to approve any supply chain changes and to ensure that the service on offer is not compromised or reduced. Comparison between the corrected March 2013 stock take and the September 2013 figures shows a net increase in the overall number of organisations in the supply chains across all sectors. The table below illustrates these changes Sector Number of organisations in the supply chain Private At 30 September 2013 - 367 compared to 351 at 31 March 2013 Public At 30 September 2013 - 128 compared to 124 at 30 March 2013 Voluntary or Community (VCS) At 30 September 2013 - 363 compared to 355 at 30 March 2013 Totals At 30 September 2013 - 858 organisations compared to 830 at March 2013.

These organisations are known as prime providers, or "primes", and operate within a geographical Contract Package Area (CPA). Each CPA has either two or three primes and individuals entering the Work Programme are randomly assigned to one of these. Comparing the outcomes of individuals assigned to each prime within a CPA provides robust estimates of relative effectiveness.

    The Work Programme National Partnership Forum - Thursday 6 September 2012 Chair – Richard Aitken-Davies Attendees Please see attached list. Formal Opening of the Work Programme National Partnership Forum Richard Aitken-Davies formally opened the Work Programme Partnership Forum and thanked everyone for their attendance. Work Programme Performance and General Update Alan Cave outlined that he had met with the new Minister Mark Hoban and that Minister was eager to meet with DWP officials and providers. Tribute was paid to the previous Minister Chris Grayling for the work he had done in paving the way for the delivery of the Work programme. PRaP validation A workshop took place in August between DWP and providers to look at the most pressing issues. Task and finish groups have been set up to focus on those areas requiring resolution and outcomes will be fed back to the forum as soon as resolutions have been put in place. DWP are to hold a workshop with providers in September to focus on performance, delivery models and changes to conditionality. The workshop will discuss the issue of JSA and ESA volumes and the expected increase as part of the mandating of ESA customers to the Work Programme. Discussions will be held between DWP and providers to ensure increased volumes will be accommodated effectively. A further meeting of the National Partnership Forum will be held in October to discuss updated business plans, flight paths and financial models. This additional forum will also provide the chair of the forum to provide feedback on his meetings with a selection of providers and his discussions with them on their views on performance issues.

  • DWP's Commercial Agreement for Employment and Health
    DWP’s Commercial Agreement for Employment and Health Related Services (Release 5 October 2020) ERSA is pleased to be able to inform you of the organisations on Tier 1 and Tier 2 of the DWP Commercial Agreement for Employment and Health Related Services (CAEHRS). In total the DWP received submissions from 61 organisations with a total of 171 compliant submissions across the 7 regional lots. Overall, this has resulted in a total of 28 organisations being awarded a place on CAEHRS, 21 of which have multiple places and 7 have single awards. As set out during this competition the design of CAEHRS allows the department to offer further places they become available. The department does not currently have any plans to undertake further activity at this time but will formally notify the market as appropriate. Those that have been unsuccessful on this occasion are able to bid for future opportunities on CAEHRS. As communicated previously CAEHRS is already planned to be used for Scotland JETS delivery in Regional Lot 7 later this month and the Long-term unemployment programme that subject to further decisions will be outlined shortly. ERSA’s Chief Executive, Elizabeth Taylor said “This announcement is welcomed by the sector. ERSA is scheduling a series of events to provide more information about the successful organisations and the DWP’s plans, these events will keep the sector informed, build partnerships, and enable collaboration”. ERSA is running a series of Meet the Primes events, the first of which will be on Friday 23 October at 1pm. This will be followed by ERSA Member Forums based on the 7 CPA/ regional lot areas.
