About

The Growth Company is seeking local partners to deliver the Individual Placement Support (IPS) element of the Connect to Work programme for Wirral residents. Connect to Work, the first major element of the 'Get Britain Working' White Paper, will nationally support 100,000 disabled people, people with health conditions, and those with complex barriers to get into and stay in employment. Funded by Wirral Borough Council via a Grant Funding Agreement with the Department for Work and Pensions, this voluntary programme will provide support for 1,537 Wirral residents who have a physical or mental health disability (as defined by the Equality Act 2010 or the Social Model of Disability) or belong to a specific disadvantaged group, and includes two cohorts: out-of-work participants needing support to move into employment, and in-work participants who are off sick or struggling in the workplace. Interested suppliers must register on the Panacea Supplier Platform (https://app.panacea-software.com/growth) and submit their EOI on the Panacea portal; the deadline for EOI submission is 17:00pm on Tuesday 16th June 2026.

Insight

This could be ideal for local employment support providers with experience delivering IPS contracts (for example IPS in Primary Care, IPS Drug & Alcohol, IPS Severe Mental Illness and Connect to Work). Key considerations include the capacity to deliver support at scale to 1,537 residents across two distinct cohorts (out-of-work and in-work with health-related barriers) and the requirement to submit the EOI via the Panacea Supplier Platform by the 17:00pm on 16th June 2026 deadline.
