Renewal Options
Contractors will need to be aware of current and emerging Welsh Government policy and commit to a flexible approach that is capable of responding to changing Ministerial priorities and labour market requirements. From time to time there may be a requirement to deliver new services aimed at supporting young people. Changes to the Programme Specification will be implemented in accordance with paragraphs A27. to A35. of the JGW+ Programme Specification and must be instructed in accordance with the process set out at Schedule 2 of the Framework Agreement. For the absolute avoidance of doubt, no variation or additional work in relation to the JGW+ Programme will amount to a modification of the overall nature of the JGW+ Framework Agreement.
