DWP London Project List Match funding information on this list shows the estimated value of the match that the DWP as a CFO will use from that contract in the 2007-2013 ESF programme. This will be different from the full indicative value of the whole ESF contract. Sometimes only a partial value from a match contract is used if that is all that the DWP CFO needs in order to match 50:50 with their ESF spend. The figures will not be finalised until the ESF spend is completed.

The Work Programme provider decides how best to support claimants referred to them, through a ‘black box' approach. The last date for referrals to the Work Programme was 31st March 2017. All claimants referred on or before this date will remain on the Work Programme for up to 104 weeks even if they move into work, unless they complete the Work Programme early. Claimants were referred to the Work Programme at different points in their Universal Credit claim. A referral could either be mandatory or voluntary. Some voluntary referrals resulted in the claimant having to participate on a mandatory basis. A change in a claimant’s circumstances can result in changes to the nature of participation on the Work Programme and to their agreed commitments.

  • 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. Keywords: Public employment services, job search, public policy evaluation. JEL Codes: J64, J68, J22. ∗Corresponding author.

  • Justice for Sale – the Privatisation of Offender Management Services
    Justice for sale – the privatisation of offender management services A TUC report based on research by the New Economics Foundation Acknowledgements This report presents findings from research undertaken by the New Economics Foundation (NEF) commissioned by the Trades Union Congress (TUC). The TUC would like to thank the author Stephen Whitehead and his colleagues Helen Kersley and Jacob Mohun at NEF for their hard work and contribution to this project. 3 Contents 1 Introduction 2 Electronic monitoring and private prisons 3 Probation services 4 Conclusion and recommendations 4 5 Section one 1 Introduction Preface This report presents findings from research undertaken by Stephen Whitehead at the New Economics Foundation (NEF) which was commissioned by the Trades Union Congress (TUC). The research investigates the outsourcing of public services in key sectors – offender management, employment services, health care, social care and local government services. This first report examines the outsourcing of offender management in England and Wales and looks at prisons and the supervision of offenders in the community. It also reviews three significant contracting areas – prisons, electronic monitoring and probation. Based on this research, the TUC has identified a set of policy recommendations to address specific issues related to the outsourcing of offender management services, and also others which are applicable to public services more broadly. Offender management This report looks at the outsourcing of offender management – prisons and the supervision of offenders in the community – in England and Wales. The introduction of competition has had a significant impact on delivery, with fewer staff employed and lower salaries now paid in private prisons.

  • 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.
