Agenda for Change and soft facilities management contracts - No longer applicable 

18/03/2011 
The Code of Practice on Workforce Matters in Public Sector Service Contracts (the Two-Tier Code), which applies to NHS contracts, has been withdrawn with immediate effect. The Cabinet Office announced its withdrawal on 13 December 2010.

Agenda for Change and NHS Contractors Staff – A Joint Statement

The withdrawal of the code will also have an impact on the Agenda for Change and NHS Contractors Staff – A Joint Statement. Where the NHS Joint Statement is already in place, it has become part of terms and conditions for employees and consequently, can only be changed with agreement from employees. This is in line with general employment practice.


For all new contracts the requirement to follow the joint statement has been removed.  The expectation is that new contracts will take account of the Cabinet Office's Principles of Good Employment Practice
