Also, some London-based organisations are asking about LDA ESF Youth Programme results. Apparently they've been awarded given preferred bidder status, but the results are not published anywhere. Suggestions welcome!

FND2 here we come! (Sarina Russo that is)

seems a little presumptous. I don't see anyone predicting TBG to pick up FND2 contracts.

Seems like a light hearted call-to-arms to me!

Submitted by Jadzia Dax on Mon, 07/12/2009 - 4:24pm.

which is exactly what I meant it to be!

So 7 different providers, that's surprisingly low. Are many people from here going to next week's Phase 2 events?

You must be joking!

All these fND2 EoI to do....

Seriously bad timing on behalf of DWP to squash everything together like this.

Small providers like us cant cope.

How on earth did TBG get Scotland? They've never gone North of Derby as far as I know! Clearly world domination on the cards.

Dare I suggest that it's proof that a good quality, convincing bid can sometimes win the day?

Re: lda esf youth - Spec 1 project is already live with a St Giles/Rathbone partnership delivering i believe.
Others are under negotiation with preferred bidders with a Feb start expected.
Expect some new entrants (led by some old faces) alongside the usual suspects.

Does anyone know who is bidding for FND in Doncaster?

Submitted by bigbaldbloke on Tue, 08/12/2009 - 1:38pm.

Assuming that that's in the South Yorks contract package area, A4e are delivering there (it's a Phase 1 area, so it went live in October).
