Commercial Employment
Provision
What do we mean by transition?
• The process by which we move from current provision to
flexible New Deal (fND)
• We’re not just re-contracting, we’re;
- Amending processes
- Revisiting Management arrangements
- Training
- Providing customer awareness
- Interim provision control, etc.
Key priorities in transition:
•Provision for jobseekers
•Managing current provision
•Jobcentre plus performance and
capacity
•Ensuring fND is a success
What is the impact on existing provision?:
• From April 2009, new jobseekers will undergo the
revised JSA regime before being referred to an fND
provider
• We are developing a strategy for the period April to
September 2009
• Need the details of impact on customer facing
provision – not just contracts but all aspects
Ongoing Work:
• Transition team established and led by WWEG (John Tiplady)
& will develop strategy once agreed with senior DWP boards
• CEP will work through John and his team
• Hoped to have mapped impacts on existing provision by the
end of August (note: not likely before end of September)
• Will hold provider event asap to discuss the impact results
and how we progress in transition
