DWP’s Commissioning Strategy
Alan Cave DWP Delivery Director
Welfare to Work: where we are coming from
• We have evolved a market that is fragmented, driven by process and short-term objectives
• Silo mentality and dependent; low on innovation
• Performance is not where we want it to be• Too much effort on measuring performance –
not enough on improving it• Performance management is too much “rear
mirror”
Welfare to Work: where we are coming from
• £1bn a year spend• Currently:
• 20+ programmes• 1300+ contracts• 600+ providers• Paid largely for process and inputs
Welfare to Work: where we need to be
We have to make the market place fit for the purpose of Welfare to Work reform:
• Focus on the individual and on tailored solutions• Focus on rights and responsibilities: “personalised
conditionality”• Focus on multiple sources of disadvantage• Focus on employment and skills: jobs and progression• Focus on place• Focus on employers• Step change in what we deliver and step change in
how we deliver – much bigger focus on capability
What the market needs to deliver
We are on the brink of a revolution in the provision landscape:• A single, nationwide programme for new IB customers• A single, flexible New Deal for all JSA customers• A single programme for specialist disability customers• A single, national framework for all local, JCP provision
Plus:• A major shift towards alignment/co-commissioning of skills and employment provision• Real integration with local strategies• Movement towards multi-client contracts
In effect:• A “national spine” of mainstream provision, with increasing localisation• Plus a series of controlled experiments to build the evidence base for the next generation of programmes
What will be different?
• Market Structure – a stronger, more consistent base of top-tier providers who can work closely with regional and sub-regional partners to deliver sustainable jobs for unemployed people.
• Market development and stewardship – an active and transparent DWP role to ensure that smaller, local providers, who have the capabilities we need and who perform well, can flourish and develop.
• Provider capabilities – spelling out the specific capabilities and requirements that make up a high-performing supply chain and an effective first-tier provider. We will contract, inspect, manage and intervene on the basis of these capabilities and requirements.
What will be different?
•Commercial Strategy – a competitive market with larger and longer contracts, rewarding providers for sustained outcomes and significantly reducing costs, using competition on a continuing basis as the spur to greater effectiveness.
•Performance Management – a single, integrated, shared and transparent approach to the measurement and management of provider performance that enables ‘like-to-like’ analysis of performance.
•DWP capability – building our own skill base so that we make a positive contribution to business partnership – doing the best job to support providers in securing sustained job outcomes for our customers.
•Customer experience – this will play an important part in the commissioning of provision, how it is delivered and how it is improved.
Responding to the recession
• Critical need to avoid “losing” a generation to long term unemployment. • Getting new programmes on the ground (especially FND) is therefore critical, alongside additional measures to support the newly unemployed.• This in turn requires flexibility in our contracting strategy, and creative steps to strengthen capacity at all points in the system.
