The Merlin Standard
We have received enquiries recently about the Department for Work and Pensions and the Merlin Standard.
The final version of the Merlin Standard has now been published and will be put into use. The standard is a code of conduct developed by DWP for managing their supply chains on large contracts, such as the upcoming Work Programme which will require all contractors to sign up.
The code aims to help relationships between prime and sub contractors on large government contracts.
The development of the Standard responds directly to concerns raised by providers, especially those not operating as prime contractors, around potential unfair treatment within supply chains.
