Written question asked by Lord Kirkwood of Kirkhope (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Freud (Conservative) on Thursday, 24 June 2010.


Employment: Work Programme

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how they are ensuring that medium-sized providers of welfare to work services can effectively compete with large-scale prime providers.
Answer

One of the key areas we will evaluate in determining who is asked to deliver the work programme will be on bidding organisations’ track record on successfully developing and managing supply chains. We are clear that there will be a role for medium providers in the delivery of the work programme.
