We continue to monitor the financial health of all of our strategic suppliers, including Kier. We remain in close communication with Kier\u2019s management and will continue to discuss their proposed strategy. Kier has a large number of contracts across the private and public sector and we are confident they can continue to deliver quality public services. We remain in close communication with Kier\u2019s management and will continue to discuss their proposed strategy. Our priority is always to protect the continuity of public services.<\/p> Kier has a large number of contracts across the private and public sector and we are confident they can continue to deliver quality public services.<\/p> From 1 September, in government procurements that are over £5m per annum and subject to the Public Contract Regulations 2015, suppliers will need to demonstrate good payment with their subcontractors. Suppliers that cannot demonstrate a fair, effective and responsible approach to payment in their supply chain should expect to be excluded from the procurement process for major government contracts.<\/p> The payment performance of all large businesses, including Kier and its relevant corporate entities, is available at www.gov.uk/check-when-businesses-pay-invoices<\/a>.<\/p> Kier has a large number of contracts across the private and public sector and we are confident they can continue to deliver quality public services.<\/p> Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are a new way for primary and community service organisations to work together. For PCNs to be successful they will need to work in partnership with local people and the communities they serve. Legal duties which currently apply to NHS service providers - including general practitioner practices - and commissioners around engagement and consultation will continue to be valid for PCNs.<\/ins><\/p><\/ins><\/p> Through the National Living Wage (NLW) and National Minimum Wage (NMW), the Government ensures that the lowest paid in our society are fairly rewarded for their work. April 2019\u2019s increase to the NLW will see nearly 1.8 million workers in the UK receive a 4.9% pay rise. A full-time worker on the NLW will now be more than £2,750 better off over the year compared to when it was first announced in 2015.<\/p> <\/p> The table below provides estimates for the number and proportion of jobs in the UK and Yorkshire and the Humber on the NLW and NMW in 2019. The most recent available data for Barnsley, and South Yorkshire, shows that there were an estimated 5,500 workers and 47,200 workers respectively who were on the NLW or NMW.<\/p>Kier has a large number of contracts across the private and public sector and we are confident they can continue to deliver quality public services.<\/del><\/p>"}
