This scheme falls under the services sector, specifically focusing on recruitment services (CPV code: 79600000). Located in England, the procurement was carried out through a selective method, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 17th August 2018, while the contract, awarded to Working Transitions Ltd for £399,000, commenced on 26th September 2018 and is set to conclude on 30th September 2023.

Companies with experience in facilitating employment services, counselling, or well-being support would be particularly well-positioned to compete, as the scheme aims to improve the employment prospects of whistleblowers while promoting their well-being.
