Tender description

Lot CPA 1-6: Work and Health Programme The WHP will be DWP's new contracted employment provision that will help persons who have a disability, the long term unemployed and specified disadvantaged groups to find sustained work. The WHP will target those who are most likely to benefit from the additional support of the programme and will: • provide additional support that is distinct and additional to that available through Jobcentre Plus; • predominantly remunerate suppliers on a Payment by Results basis in order to drive sustained employment outcomes; and • support current and future local plans for service integration for individuals who have multiple barriers to work and/or have a disability. DWP agreed, through the Government's Devolution Deal and City Deal process, to work with a number of combined authorities/city regions to ensure local priorities influence the design and delivery of WHP by co-designing the programme with those areas.
