About

The Department for Work and Pensions awarded a contract to The Pluss Organisation CIC for the delivery of tailored, personalised support to help unemployed people enter and sustain employment across Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield local authority areas.

The provision, valued at £3,711,000, required the provider to deliver from at least one location in each area, with service delivery from October 2016 to September 2019 and a further 64-week payment tail.

A minimum of 1,731 participants were required to start on the provision, which aimed to enhance existing DWP mainstream support and achieve sustained job outcomes for disadvantaged people facing multiple barriers to work.

The provider was required to meet ESF-specific requirements set by the European Commission and use the Provider Referral and Payment (PRaP) system for referrals and claimant activity recording.
