How we started subcontracting Prior to minimum contract values being implemented in 2011, SEK held a direct contract with the SFA for £324k We needed to overcome the £500,000 contract threshold 4 providers signed their contract over to SEK on the basis that it would be subcontracted back to them
Our new provision Our contract with the SFA increased to £1.7m on 1st August 2011 (the largest percentage increase in the country) and again to £2m by Christmas 2011 Train to gain became other workplace learning, Adult Apprenticeships and 16-18 Apprenticeships. From SSA 1 and 14 to SSA’s 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14, and 15
