DWP East of England 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.

  • Bridges Into Work Overview
    The Bridges into Work project started in January 2009. Its aim is to support local people gain the skills and confidence to help them move towards employment. The project is part funded by the Welsh European Funding Office across 6 local authorities in Convergence areas of South Wales – Merthyr Tydfil , Rhondda Cynon Taf, Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend and Caerphilly. In Merthyr Tydfil the project is managed and implemented by Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council, which has enjoyed massive success with its recent venture The Neighbourhood Learning Programme. It has helped to engage local people to secure full time employment and to progress onto further learning in recent years. Carrying on from the achievement is the Neighbourhood Learning Centre, Gurnos and the newly established Training Employment Centre in Treharris. Both centres seek to engage with local people from all parts of Merthyr Tydfil and fulfil the Bridges into Work objective of providing encouragement, training, advice and guidance for socially excluded people with the view to get them back into work. The Neighbourhood Learning Centre has a range of training facilities covering a variety of sectors including plumbing, painting and decorating, carpentry, bricklaying, plastering, retail, customer service and computer courses. There are a team of experienced tutors who deliver training for local people within the community. Bridges into Work successfully delivered a Pre-Employment course for Cwm Taf Health Trust to recruit Health Care Assistants. With the help and support of the Neighbourhood Learning Pre-Employment Partnership fronted by the Bridges into Work Programme which includes organisations such as Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil, Remploy, Working Links, Shaw Trust, A4E, JobCentre Plus and JobMatch successfully provided and supported participants interested in becoming Health Care Assistants.

  • Dear Mr Kelly, Freedom of Information Request Reference Number FOI 267
    Dear Mr Kelly, Freedom of Information Request reference number FOI 267 We write further to the Court of Appeal judgment in Department for Work and Pensions v Information Commissioner & Frank Zola, to which your case was joined. The judgment was handed down on Wednesday 27 July 2016. The Court of Appeal has upheld the decision of the First-tier Tribunal in Department of Work and Pensions v Information Commissioner & Frank Zola [2013]. We write, in light of the judgment, in response to your Freedom of Information request of 2012. In your request you asked for: “the names of all organizations who have provided work boost placements, work experience, or other unpaid work activity to customers of Seetec within Contract Package Area 4 (East London) within the past 12 months. In cases where a subcontractor to Seetec was involved, please note which subcontractor or subcontractors were involved with each organization.”. Contract Package Area 4 (East London) is a Work Programme Contract Package Area. Three providers deliver the Work Programme in Contract Package Area 4 (East London): Peopleplus, Shaw Trust and Seetec. You asked for the organisations that provided work placements to Seetec. DWP contracts with prime providers, such as Seetec, to source organisations who delivered the Work Programme. Some of these providers may have sent claimants on work experience placements. DWP does not contract directly with these work experience placement hosts. We have enclosed all the information we were given by Seetec in relation to your request. A copy of this letter has also been sent to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Making Work a Real Choice Where Next for Specialist Disability Employment Support?
    Making Work a Real Choice Where next for specialist disability employment support? Final Report About Shaw Trust Shaw Trust is a leading national charity with a thirty year history of supporting disabled, disadvantaged and long term unemployed people to achieve sustainable employment, independent living and social inclusion. Last year Shaw Trust delivered specialist services to over 50,000 people from 200 locations across the UK, supporting its beneficiaries to enter work and lead independent lives.

We further deliver services as a Work Programme subcontractor in seven different CPAs.

  • A Guide for Voluntary Sector Services Working
    PERFECT PARTNERS strengthening relationships within employment services supply chains. A Good Practice Guide by ERSA, ACEVO and NCVO PERFECT PARTNERS: A Good Practice Guide by ERSA, ACEVO and NCVO Published July 2012 CONTENTS. p4. Joint foreword from ERSA, ACEVO and NCVO p6. Introduction p12. Case studies: establishing supply chains p16. Case studies: managing supply chains p21. Recommendations checklist 3 JOINT FOREWORD. FROM ERSA, ACEVO AND NCVO There is a proud tradition of voluntary sector organisations supporting people into employment. Alongside public sector agencies and private provision, charities have worked to help people gain and sustain jobs, with many specialising in helping those furthest from the labour market. The recent direction of public service reform has led to a new challenging dynamic for all sectors participating in employment related services, but this is particularly the case for charities operating within the welfare to work sector. First, the adoption of the ‘prime contractor’ model for government commissioned employment related services means that fewer organisations now have a relationship directly with the commissioner. Secondly, the trend towards ‘payment by results’ has meant that only organisations of a certain size and disposition have felt able to consider acting as a prime contractor of employment related services. The result is that, in today’s world of welfare to work, the majority of voluntary sector organisations delivering publicly commissioned employment related services do so in a subcontractor capacity to a prime contractor. The challenges of this arrangement have been becoming apparent. This is why ERSA, ACEVO and NCVO are working together to encourage and support good quality relationships within supply chains.
