speed dating .... and the work programme
The Employment Related Services Association is hosting a series of ‘speed dating’ events to assist providers interested in subcontracting opportunities within DWP’s Work Programme to meet up with prime bidders -
‘The Prime Pitch events are designed to bring together a number of prime bidders in the same venues at the same time, and are particularly supportive of smaller, specialist and voluntary sector providers in enabling them to pitch their services to multiple bidders in a single day.
ERSA are aiming to attract as many prime bidders as possible to host a speed dating table at each event, to talk to subcontractor candidates and disseminate their literature. A4e, Remploy, and FourstaR Employment & Skills are amongst the prime bidders who have already confirmed interest in hosting a table.’
