The Seasonal Workers Pilot is different to the previous Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme, which ran until 2013. The pilot will be run by two operators who will act as third party providers of labour. The Home Office have concluded that two scheme operators is the optimal number for managing this pilot. Defra ran a competitive selection process to select the two operators. The pilot is not designed to meet the full labour needs of the horticultural sector. Rather, the Government is seeking to evaluate the pilot’s ability to assist in alleviating labour shortages during peak production periods. We wish to assess fully this pilot before taking any decisions on future arrangements.
