Tender: EOI: Deliver DWP Jobs Guarantee Phase Two – Six‑Month Paid Jobs for Unemployed 18–24s
Released 5 months ago
About
The Growth Company is seeking partners to support delivery of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Jobs Guarantee Phase Two, a programme to provide guaranteed, fully subsidised six‑month paid jobs to 55,000 long‑term unemployed young people aged 18–24 over the next three years. The scheme targets young people who have been on Universal Credit for 18 months and may face complex barriers to work, offering 25 hours per week at the relevant minimum wage with the Government covering 100% of employment costs, alongside tailored wraparound support including pre‑employment preparation, in‑work mentoring and skills development. DWP began six Phase One pilots (delivery from Spring 2026) and expects a national Phase Two rollout with go‑live anticipated in November 2026, appointing a lead provider for each of 25 selected areas; The Growth Company intends to bid as a Prime provider for Phase Two and is inviting Expressions of Interest from organisations with recent end‑to‑end youth employment support experience. The deadline for submission of the required EOI document is 17:00 on Friday 12 June 2026.
This could be ideal for organisations experienced in end‑to‑end youth employment support with strong local labour‑market knowledge and employer links who can source and match six‑month paid jobs and deliver wraparound services. Key considerations include the need to support young people with complex barriers, the expectation to secure suitable local job opportunities and sustained employer engagement, and readiness for a national rollout with area‑based lead provider responsibilities and a November 2026 go‑live.
