Flexible new deal
Phase 2 Partnership Opportunities
What is Flexible New Deal?
The Flexible New Deal replaces the current New Deal 18 - 24 and 25+ and Employment Zones programmes. Flexible New Deal will support people who have been unemployed for more than 12 months to secure sustainable employment.
Phase 1 contracts commence delivery October 2009. Phase 2 contract awards will be announced in April 2010 and commence delivery in October 2010.
Following success in securing Prime Contractor status for delivery of Flexible New Deal Phase 1 in South Yorkshire and Derbyshire, we are now developing partnerships for our Phase 2 tender submissions.
