Tender description

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is considering establishing arrangements for the award of contracts for the provision of employment and health related services (for example in the form of a framework or framework-style agreement). It is anticipated a Lot structure will be utilised, details of this will be confirmed at a later date. The objective of the arrangements would be to provide employment and health related support services helping people who are unemployed, disabled, have a health condition or barrier to work to select, train for, obtain and retain employment. The types of support services required may vary over time and with the needs of the people being supported. The arrangements will formalise a list of suppliers that DWP (and other contracting authorities) can contract with for future call-offs. These suppliers will meet DWP’s minimum standards, including financial viability, and will have the quality and capability to deliver our future requirements. It is intended that the procurement of the arrangements will commence in or following October 2024 and will be conducted under the Procurement Act 2023.
