Employment Support Services for Economically Inactive and Benefit Claimants in Leicester and Leicestershire LEP Area
Awarded 04 Sep 2016
About
The Department for Work and Pensions awarded a contract to Working Links (Employment) Limited for the delivery of employment support provision across the Leicester and Leicestershire Local Enterprise Partnership area, covering Leicester City Council and Leicestershire County Council including seven district councils.
The contract, valued at £5.4 million, required the provider to deliver services from premises in Leicester city centre, Coalville, Loughborough, Hinckley, Melton Mowbray, Ashby, and Market Harborough, with service delivery expected to commence in October 2016 and continue until September 2019, followed by a 64-week payment tail.
The provision aimed to tackle barriers to work and help participants into sustained employment, engaging with economically inactive people not claiming benefits and benefit claimants with complex needs.
A minimum of 1,462 participants were required to start on the provision.
The provider was expected to build strong working relationships with employers in local growth sectors to enhance participants' chances of finding work.
The provider was required to meet European Social Fund (ESF) specific requirements set by the European Commission, and to use the Provider Referral and Payment (PRaP) system for referrals and recording claimant activity, necessitating relevant security requirements.
