Pause in DWP ESF awards

Further to the news on preferred bidders for the recent DWP ESF round, we've heard that the DWP sent an e-mail to prime contractors last week informing them that contract awards have been delayed as a number of providers have raised issues with the contracts the DWP was asking them to sign.

If you're a subcontractor and wondering why your primes still aren't talking with you, this is why. They're embargoed from talking with subcontractors until the official contract award has taken place.
