ALT GOV.UK Keep Britain Working: a national growth opportunity, September 2026 Published 23 September 2026 The cost: This is not a spending programme. The operational levers sit with employers and the returns land with employees, employers and the Exchequer. What government must supply is the framework, the intelligence, and access for the smallest firms. From our conversations so far, we believe that there is opportunity to test the potential for pooled purchasing of WHP on behalf of small employers in a place, for example via Mayoral or strategic authorities, devolved administrations or through sector bodies. WHP could also be pooled in this way through the supply chain of large employers, making services available to their partner companies. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/keep-britain-working-review-update-a-national-growth-opportunity-september-2026/keep-britain-working-a-national-growth-opportunity-september-2026#contents
