Work and Pensions written question – answered at on 25 November 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many disability-specific organisations have applied to be approved contractors for the Work Programme.
102 organisations, Special Purpose Vehicles or consortiums submitted bids in respect of the DWP Framework for the Provision of Employment Related Support Services. Bidders were not asked to indicate whether they were disability-specific organisations in their bid. A list of organisations that submitted bids can be found on the Supplying DWP website at:
http://www.dwp.gov.uk/supplying-dwp/
Those organisations that have been accepted onto the Framework will be notified at the end of November and a list will also be published on the Supplying DWP website. Only those organisations that are successful in being admitted to the Framework as Prime Contractors will be invited to tender for Work Programme contracts.
