About

The Department for Work and Pensions awarded a contract to MAXIMUS for a voluntary employment support provision in the South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership area, valued at AUD 938,385.

The provision aimed to reduce the number of people who are inactive or not in employment by offering a tailored package of support to help the unemployed, economically inactive, and those disadvantaged in the labour market find and keep a job.

The provider was expected to deliver the provision within the South East Midlands LEP only, specifically in Aylesbury Vale, Cherwell, Milton Keynes, Bedford, Central Bedfordshire, and Luton.
