About

The Department for Work and Pensions awarded a contract to Reed in Partnership Limited for delivering a package of support to help unemployed and economically inactive people within the Hertfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership area find and keep a job.

The provision is voluntary and aims to reduce the number of people who are inactive or not in employment in the area.

It is targeted at different groups and delivery is tailored to meet the needs of participants to engage, address barriers to work, and improve their chances of securing and sustaining employment.

The provider must meet ESF specific requirements set by the European Commission, and failure to comply can result in financial risk.

The provider will use the Provider Referral and Payment (PRaP) system to receive referrals and record claimant activity, and must meet relevant security requirements.

The contract value is £1,800,000.
