Bidding for flexible New Deal contracts  Return to Which product is best for you?

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) flexible New Deal provides support from highly-skilled personal advisers from the public, private and third sectors to ensure that long-term unemployed people receive the specialist help they need to get back to work.

If you are interested in bidding for flexible New Deal contracts with the DWP, Futurebuilders offers a number of products that may be able to help you.

We offer loans, sometimes combined with grants to organisations to:

  • Provide funds to enable you to tender effectively
  • Help strengthen your balance sheets

Our Full Investment Fund offers loans-based investments of at least £50,000, often combined with grants and professional support. This product could be just what your organisation needs to provide it with the working capital to support the development of services and programmes.

Our Tender Fund offers three year interest-free loans of between £3000 and £50,000 specifically for organisations who need money to help them tender successfully for public service contracts.

Our Consortia Fund offers a combination of loan finance and professional support specifically for consortia groups aiming to work together to win public service contracts.

We will also look at other ways in which we can provide finance to assist organisations to create competitive neutrality with the private sector.

If you are not sure what product to apply for, our experienced investment officers will work with you to determine which product is most suitable for your organisation.
