Serco wins contract for DWP Functional Assessment Services in
south-west of UK with value of GBP350m
17 October 2023
Serco brings together the right people, the right technology and
the right partners to create innovative solutions that make a
positive impact and address some of the most urgent and complex
challenges facing governments.
Building on our platform in Citizen Services, we are pleased to
announce today that Serco has been selected by the Department for
Work and Pensions (DWP), following a competitive process, to
deliver the new Functional Assessment Services (FAS) in the
south-west of England. The five-year contract starts in September
2024 and, subject to workload volumes, is expected to have a value
of around GBP350m.
Serco will be responsible for delivering functional health
assessments for the DWP to determine disability benefits and
support. The new FAS contracts will be based around a single
assessment provider for all services in a geographical area,
replacing the current multi-provider model that has separate
contracts to undertake assessments for Personal Independent Payment
(PIP) and Health and Disability Assessment Services (HDAS).
To deliver these services, Serco will make use of our knowledge
and capabilities supporting the DWP and partner with existing
supply chain providers in the region. We will also draw on our
international expertise in this area of work, including managing a
large workforce of health professionals in support of the
Australian Defence Force, delivering the National Disability
Enquiry Service in Australia, and supporting eligibility
determinations for citizens in the US under the country's
Affordable Care Act.
Mark Irwin, Serco Group Chief Executive said: "We are pleased
the DWP has selected Serco to deliver these important services
under one of the FAS regional contracts. We will focus on ensuring
all claimants are treated with care and respect and our employees
are fully supported and trained to provide high quality and
consistent health assessments. To deliver this new area of work for
Serco, we will draw on our extensive experience supporting and
delivering important health programmes around the world and build
on our value-based relationship with the DWP to ensure we become a
true Impact Partner to the department".
Serco - Impact a better future.
