For 2021, my Department contracted for the provision of Local Employment Services with 22 different contractors.

These contractors employ approximately 307 full time equivalent posts to deliver the service.

My Department has also contracted for the provision of Jobs Clubs with 37 different contractors

These contractors employ 81 full-time equivalent posts to deliver the service.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
