Summary of the contracting process

The Kirklees Council is inviting tenders for the "KMCIRS-053 Works Better" programme, which aims to support residents across Calderdale, Kirklees, and Wakefield in overcoming employment barriers. This procurement, classified under the higher education services category (CPV code 80300000), is currently in the Award stage following the conclusion of the tender period on 8th December 2016. The programme is valued at approximately £1.81 million and is set to run from 3rd April 2017 until 31st March 2020, with key activities being inclusive of various support services for ESF eligible residents. Interested providers were required to present imaginative and engaging delivery methods that integrate into the broader Works Better model, particularly focusing on engagement, mentoring, and digital skills development.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector entities (VCSEs), to expand their impact by proposing innovative employment support solutions. Companies with expertise in training, holistic support, and job placement services will be particularly well-suited to compete for this project, as the successful tenderers will need to collaborate closely with the three local authorities involved. By engaging in this programme, businesses can contribute to a vital public service while also affirming their commitment to social value and community development in the Yorkshire and the Humber region.

Notice Information

Notice Title

KMCIRS-053 Works Better

Notice Description

Subject to European Social Funding being secured the Works Better will deliver across Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield to address the barriers faced by all age groups seeking employment, irrespective of background and personal circumstance. Offering a tailored support package Works Better will support residents to help them secure sustained employment. Programme activities will be inclusive to all ESF eligible residents, helping them to identify barriers that prevent them entering the labour market and offering a comprehensive and innovative matrix of support activities. The Works Better programme will be split into three (3) Lots, each with its own contract. There will be one Lot for each of the three participating local authorities; namely Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield Councils. Delivery will take place in close collaboration with the three Local Authorities. Providers will be expected to put forward provision which therefore can be fully integrated into the Works Better model rather than being standalone. Delivery approaches should be imaginative, interactive and engaging to ensure Works Better participants gain a deeper understanding of the barriers, and positive steps they can make to reduce or eliminate them. A wide variety of employment support is required. It is anticipated that this may be delivered in partnership across a number of agencies. Provision should encompass the following for each Lot: 1. Engagement and Referrals. 2. Mentoring and Holistic Support. 3. Information Advice and Guidance (IAG). 4. Financial Support of participants. 5. Pre-Employment Support. 6. Enhanced Confidence Building. 7. Digital Skills Development. 8. Job Search provision and support. 9. Links to specialist provision. The main body of each contract will be subject to the same terms and conditions, but will have its own specifications, schedules and appendices.
