On 30 November 2012, following a procurement process, the Department engaged the Centre for Economic and Social Inclusion (London) to provide expert advice and assistance with the design and delivery of an employment services model on a payment by results basis. Once the design of the model has been completed consideration will be given to the question of contracting private providers of employment services. A number of companies have been awarded contracts for other services under the pathways to work programme. Details of these companies and the services provided are set out hereunder.
