SDEP PQQ results on the way?

[Update 31/7 - The results are now in, but SDEP has been renamed to Work Choice in the interim!]

Gossip in the provider community is that providers successful at the PQQ stage of SDEP were informed toward the end of last week. The DWP site has the following to say:

"In the Instructions to Bidders, issued in the Notice to Providers dated 30th March 2009, part 7.9 stated details of short-listed bidders would be published on the Supplying DWP website week commencing 13th July 2009. As a result of protracted discussions with short-listed organisations full details will now be published week commencing 27th July 2009."

We'll update the story as more news comes in, but expect the results sometime next week.
