All in a Day’s Work – TUPE and Service Provision Changes: What Employers Need to Know

In this episode of All in a Day’s Work, host Alex Harper talks with Matt Jenkin about the often‑confusing world of service provision changes under TUPE. Matt explains what counts as a service provision change, why it matters when businesses outsource, switch contractors, or bring services back in‑house, and how tribunals decide whether activities are “fundamentally the same.” With practical examples and insights drawn from real case law, Alex and Matt explore common pitfalls, the impact on employees, and the key steps employers should take to manage TUPE risks effectively. 


This reflects the law and market position at the date of publication and is written as a general guide. It does not contain legal advice, which should be sought in relation to a specific matter.
