About

The Department for Work and Pensions awarded a contract to Serco Group for employment support for troubled families in the North and East London Local Enterprise Partnership area.

The provision provides bespoke support to unemployed or inactive participants from troubled families facing issues such as poor school attainment, crime, and domestic violence, helping them overcome barriers to entering and sustaining employment.

Using a whole family approach and working with services already involved with the family, such as local authorities, a flexible and personalised package of support enhances engagement and work readiness for disadvantaged individuals.

The provider delivers the provision across the entire contract area via fixed delivery premises and outreach services.

The contract value is £5,588,147.
