Lot Information
Lot 1
The Step Up to Social Work training programme ("Step-Up") as delivered by Local Authorities ("LAs") in partnership with local Higher Education Institutions ("HEIs") was designed to deliver a consistent supply of high-quality social workers into the sector from wide ranging backgrounds.

The Step-Up programme requires a fully managed service to be provided by the supplier to LAs within their Regional Partnerships. A summary of the required services is set out below: * Design, supply and hosting of an IT-based application data capture system to coordinate the assessment process and assessment centres across England; * Administrative support to Regional Partnerships, to assess application pool of c.8,000 - 10,000 applicants; * Staffing function at Regional Partnership assessment centres to recruit 700 trainees for the eighth cohort; * Quality assurance function on applications at all stages of the process; * Targeted Recruitment advice and support to minimise and remove any inequitable barriers candidates may face.
