Not precisely, no. You'll need to know the cost of the service you're going to provide, and agree approximate volumes with the prime contractor. If you know what proportion of the target group would benefit from your services, and what impact your services would have on job entry, then you'd potentially make marketing yourself a lot easier. And remember, the JSA client group is going to change significantly:

Both 18-24 and 25+ age groups will start at one year

Lone parents who were previously on income support will move onto JSA if their children are over 7

Employment Support Allowance is designed to allow about a third fewer people onto the benefit. The 'walking wounded' will be offered JSA

The retirement age for women is being raised to 65, so there'll be a small increase in the number of older female JSA claimants


If you need to figure out how many JSA claimants would have need of your services, get in touch and we can do some analysis.The prime contractors will obviously be doing their own analysis along the same lines though, so all is not lost if you don't put one together.

Agreed! Thanks for the advice. Also, be aware that mass mailing prime contractors might get you on their list of people to look at, but if you're not specific about where you operate up front then you may never reach the bidder handling your area.
