About

The Department for Work and Pensions awarded a contract to Reed in Partnership Ltd for the delivery of a personalised and individually tailored package of support across the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Local Enterprise Partnership area.

The provision, valued at £7,182,000, required a minimum of 3,800 participants to start and aimed to tackle entrenched worklessness and achieve sustained employment outcomes for disadvantaged people facing multiple barriers to work.

Delivery was to commence in October 2016 and continue until September 2019, with a further 64-week payment tail.

The provider was required to deliver from premises in Hanley (Stoke-on-Trent), Cannock Chase, and Stafford, and to use the Provider Referral and Payment (PRaP) system for referrals and activity recording, meeting ESF-specific requirements set by the European Commission.
