  • TUPE and outsourcing

    I'm doing a CIPD employment law module and have been learning about TUPE regulations. I'm feeling a bit dim, because I work for a company to which local authorities outsource (it's essentially a report writing company) and yet TUPE has never once been mentioned as a potential issue by our organisation or any of our customers.

    Am I correct in thinking that if the LA has a team of report writers, but decides that it's cheaper to outsource to us, that we would inherit their employees? Is the reason this never arises because usually the situation is either that we take over once their writers have already left and they then just decide not to replace, or their writers have other roles and don't exclusively do the report writing?

    Similarly, is it the case that if the LA decides to move the work to a different outsourced company then the reason why our employees wouldn't transfer is because we work for lots of customers and none of our writers work exclusively for one customer? In theory, if we only had one customer, or if we had some writers who only performed work for that one customer, could they be eligible for transfer?

    Thanks in advance!

    Re: TUPE and outsourcing

    The likelihood is that there are no "report writers" in the LA - it is part of their job but only a small part.

    But that's a guess based on what I know about LA jobs. TUPE only applies to employees "in scope" - if they do not work exclusively or mostly on certain clients work they wouldn't be in scope.
