FND phase 1 subcontractor list - by provider

Updated 10/12 - This story started out as a list of all subcontractors for everyone everywhere on FND1, but thanks to an FoI response received by Steph at W2W Solutions, and some judicious reconstruction of redacted information, we've now got a complete list of which providers put which subcontractors in each area. These are the lists that were included at the point of tendering, and not the ones that have actually ended up delivering in each area.

I've got a request in progress for an up to date list, broken down by prime and CPA. In the meantime, be aware that some primes had to redo their subcontracting pretty much from scratch after winning FND.

I would like to add ProDiverse to the list of FND 1 sub contractors
we are delivering post assessment end to end in Southwark

You just did!

Got an updated list from DWP splitting the above into contract package areas as well as providing the same for the JCP Support Contracts. Same issues re being out of date but it does add a bit more information for you.

See www.w2wsolutions.co.uk latest news.

To give an example of the accuracy of the subcontractor lists at the point of ITT submission, compare and contrast this list of FND1 subcontracts published by Dering on their website:

  • Birmingham & Solihull – FourstaR Employment & Skills
  • Black Country – A4e
  • Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Lincolnshire – A4e
  • Central London, Lambeth, Southwark, Wandsworth – Calder or A4e
  • Coventry, Warwickshire, Marches, Staffordshire – Serco
  • Devon & Cornwall – Working Links
  • Edinburgh, Lothian and Borders, Lanarkshire, East Dunbartonshire, Ayrshire
  • Dumfries, Galloway & Inverclyde – Ingeus
  • Greater Manchester – Serco
  • Leicestershire, Northamptonshire & Nottinghamshire – Ingeus or Working Links
  • North East Yorkshire, Humber & Tees Valley – A4e or Working Links
  • North and Mid Wales & South East Wales – Serco
  • South Wales Valleys & South West Wales – Working Links
  • South Yorkshire & Derbyshire – A4e or Remploy
  • Surrey, Sussex & Kent – Skills Training

Interesting to see that Pertemps People Development are going it alone. I wonder why they have choosen not to form working partnerships with any sub contractors?

Well the list isn't accurate. We have had a sub-contract with Working Links from the outset in one of their delivery areas but are not listed as a sub contractor. I would take this list with a 'pinch of salt'.

Creating Futures is on the list as a subcontractor to Working Links for sussex. CFL went belly up last month, made all its employees redundant by email message with a same day notice, didn't pay tax and NI contributions. I wonder why it only made a small article in The Argus and no mention of its demise in the press of the town where it actually operated?
