Notice Description
The ASYE programme is an, employer-led, induction programme that incentivises employers to provide bespoke support to their newly qualified social workers (NQSWs) as they transition into frontline practice.

Lot Information
Lot 1
This is a single contract to deliver the funding and support for employers to deliver a comprehensive programme for NQSWs that is effective in providing support in their first year of practice and tailored to meet the needs of participants on the ASYE programme across England. Tue programme provides meaningful engagement with employers and NQSWs to continue to build on programme strengths and further the impact of improving the quality of social work practice and retention of child and family social workers from all backgrounds. The contract requires the development and management of a system to administer payments to employers and associated registration and administration activity as well as allowing employers to register as providers of the ASYE programme. This includes allowing employers to register when individual social workers commence, transfer, withdraw or complete their ASYE. A key objective of the contract will be to establish and build relationships with the sector and effectively communicate the requirements of the ASYE programme including details of how to participate, access funding and the responsibilities of each party. The contract will also identify and support employers to develop, implement and share best practice, including establishing a best practice quality assurance framework for the ASYE programme for employers to quality assure their own provision, and other resources, tools and guidance that support a high-quality ASYE experience for NQSWs. The contractor will be the public face of the ASYE in the sector and should be seen to be leading the drive for effective delivery. Quality assurance and continuous improvement are key.
Options: This contract will be for an initial period of 2 years with options to be exercisable under the contract to extend the contract for a period or periods up to a further 24 months depending on business needs.
