WYG consortium awarded EUR 8.8m EuropeAid Contract
WYG plc (WYG), the global programme, project management and
technical consultancy, is pleased to announce it has been awarded a
two year technical assistance contract by the Turkish Ministry of
Family and Social Policies on behalf of EuropeAid.
WYG is the lead partner in a consortium, which includes Project
Group, Archidata srl, Archidata International, A.N.F.E. Delegazione
Regionale Sicilia and the National Agency for Roma. Under the
contract the consortium will provide technical assistance to a
major programme which is intended to increase social inclusion in
the densely Roma populated areas of Turkey principally by
facilitating their entry into the formal labour market. The value
of the contract to WYG will be approximately EUR 8.8m.
This project to provide socio-economic consultancy services
builds on the work we have recently done with the Union of
Municipalities in Turkey providing technical assistance to increase
the employability of disadvantaged persons. It will be implemented
in 12 pilot provinces in Turkey; it will be WYG's first project
with the Ministry of Family and Social Policies and is of
particular significance in being the first major project
implemented in Turkey directly targeting Roma communities.
Paul Hamer, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"As we reported in June, the delay in agreeing the EU's
Multiannual Financial Framework 2014-2020 had a significant impact
on our order book in Turkey during 2014. However, bidding activity
during the first six months of this year was at an unprecedented
level and we are delighted to have secured what we expect will be
the first of a number of major projects over the coming months.
"We hope to build on the strong relationships we have with our
consortium partners to expand our services in these important
fields leading to continued growth in Turkey."
