Aims

Highlights at a Glance - learn the intent behind the TUPE Regulations
- gain practical understanding of when and how TUPE applies
- understand the consequences of infringing regulations
- explore key contractual clauses to be negotiated with
   suppliers 

Outsourcing has become a major element to business planning, whether at the initial stage of moving from in-house provision or at the later stage of transferring from one service provider to another. From a legal perspective, one of the most important and difficult considerations has been the implications of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations otherwise known as TUPE.

Several case studies and activities will be used during the session to consolidate material previously covered. Delegates will be encouraged to ask questions and raise issues throughout the session.

Who should attend

The programme is designed for procurement specialists, managers and staff who may be engaged in procurement involving the transfer of staff.

Benefits of attending

 By the end of this programme delegates will:

• possess a sound awareness of the purposes behind the TUPE Regulations
• have a practical understanding of when & how TUPE applies to outsourcing arrangements and the implications of when the regulations are not correctly observed
• be familiar with the contractual clauses that should be negotiated with incoming suppliers to address potential problems and liabilities that may be incurred when they arise.
