As expected, Work programme supply chains are dynamic, and adapt to meet the emerging needs of participants. The Department conducts a six monthly stock take of subcontractors that make up the supply chains.
The first stock take took place in August 2011, to allow supply chains time to bed in after the Work programme was launched. A further stock take was undertaken in January 2012. Across these two stock takes in total it was identified that 44 new organisations had joined the supply chain and 41 were no longer subcontractors as follows:

When the Minister gets this autumn’s official data on job outcomes and sustainment payments under the Work programme, will he have another look at the funding model for local training providers? He may be aware that, a few months ago, I raised with his predecessor the plight of a small provider in my constituency, and I was not exactly thanked for doing so. Is he aware that another provider in my constituency has now gone out of work in addition to two others? Will he promise to keep the matter under constant review?
