Preparing for the Work Programme Framework and ESF Commissioning in London |
|
The arrival of the Work Programme Framework from the Department of Work and Pensions means that many smaller and specialist providers will need to adapt and be built into Prime Contractors’ supply chains if they are to survive and thrive. The London European Social Fund programme is being commissioned during the same timeline.
West London Working is funding a series of capacity building events over the next six months for providers in West London, to help them respond to these challenges.
This free workshop is the first of a series of four, which focus on learning from practical experiences and giving you the knowledge and skills to help your organisation grow and develop profitable and positive contractual relationships. It will also provide you with tools and direction to help your organisation have productive conversations with Prime Contractors during the bidding process for the Framework in the London region.

You are advised to also book on the Meet the Primes speed dating event taking place at Ealing Town Hall on 5th October. Click here to book for Meet the Primes. |
