Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process titled "Connect to Work" is initiated by Devon County Council, acting as the lead accountable body, in collaboration with Torbay and Plymouth Councils. This open procurement procedure aims to solicit tenders for delivering services under the DWP-funded programme aimed at providing employment support for individuals with disabilities or long-term health conditions. The procurement is categorised under services and involves key CPV classifications such as job search services, education and training services, health and social work services, and other community services. The procurement is at the tender stage, with a tender submission deadline set for 3rd November 2025. A Tender Launch Event is anticipated on 13th October 2025 via Microsoft Teams, offering an opportunity for potential bidders to understand the tender documents and address queries. The services will be delivered across multiple regions, including Exeter, East Devon, Mid Devon, Torridge, North Devon, Teignbridge, South Hams, West Devon, and Torbay in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as they can leverage their expertise in training, employment support, and community services to fulfil the contract requirements. The programme's emphasis on integration into local health and employment services through the Supported Employment model could attract businesses skilled in collaborative and multi-agency work. Enterprises specialising in healthcare, social work, training, and job placement services are well-suited to bid for the various lots offered, with a potential contract duration of up to three years, subject to successful renewals. Bidders can submit proposals for multiple lots, although no more than two lots will be awarded per authority, ensuring a broad participation and competitive process.

Notice Title

Connect to Work

Notice Description

Connect to Work is a DWP programme grant funded through DCC as the lead accountable body on behalf of Torbay, Plymouth and Devon. The Programme requires the delivery to the following persons with social disability or other priority audiences who are: * Economically inactive or unemployed: Person has not worked for around 6 months due to their disability, long term health condition or disadvantages and feel they need comprehensive tailored employment support to help them to identify the right roles for their needs and to engage in effective job search towards work. * Employed but risk of dropping out of work: Person is working/Self-employed for at least 3 months and is struggling to sustain employment due to their disability, long term health condition or disadvantages. However, it is acceptable to offer support to individuals who have been employed for shorter periods where the Accountable Body judges that would be appropriate. * Maintaining work: Person has never been in employment or a track record of struggling to retain jobs/sustain employment due to their disability, long term health condition or disadvantages The programme is delivered through a Supported Employment model - a place train and maintain model delivered through a five-stage process. There are two approaches, both using recognised international standards (Fidelity Models) and both using the principles that participants are employed in the Open Labour Market, it being Paid Work with Ongoing Support provided. * IPS integrates employment support alongside primary and secondary health services, and other support services. This integration ideally occurs at a physical level, through co-location and other policies, where applicable. IPS has been successfully utilised within the Individual Placement and Support in Primary Care (IPSPC) programme to support individuals with mild to moderate mental health and/or physical health conditions. Universal Support will utilise and expand on the approach taken with IPSPC. Whilst Universal Support will complement IPS Severe Mental Illness and IPS Alcohol and Drugs, these will remain separate IPS services. * SEQF is (as required) a more in-depth intervention than the form of IPS used for Universal Support. SEQF is oriented most usually around supporting learning disabled and/or autistic adults as well as others with complex support needs where clinical integration is not needed or appropriate. Devon County Council intends to host a Tender Launch Event after publication of the ITT and the Tender Notice. The event will be hosted via Microsoft Teams, and we currently anticipate the date to be Monday 13th October 2025 at 11:00am-12:30pm. This will be an opportunity to discuss the service, ask questions, and help bidders navigate around the tender documentation and the procurement process. This event will be recorded and will be uploaded to the Procurement Portal alongside the presentation shortly afterwards. If you would like to attend this event, please complete the following Tender Launch Event form so that we can send you an invite link before the event - https://forms.office.com/e/yq28axxhfD
