Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council commissioned a single provider to deliver voluntary Connect to Work support in North East Lincolnshire. The requirement is Individual Placement and Supported (IPS) in-work retention support under Lot 3C, helping people to obtain and retain employment and contributing to the Department for Work and Pensions’ objectives. This is a public service rather than a construction or product supply opportunity, with recruitment services as the relevant classification. Delivery is in North East Lincolnshire, within the wider United Kingdom. The council is the purchasing organisation. The service is suited to providers working across employment support, vocational rehabilitation, individual placement and support, and sustained in-work assistance for people who need help to remain in employment.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a competitive further competition under a framework, using a selective procedure. One lot was awarded to NAVIGO HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE CIC. The award was made on 19 June 2026 at £163,672 net (£163,672 gross) including the stated award value. The award contract period runs from 14 July 2026 to 31 March 2030. A standstill period ended on 7 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 3 July 2026. The active contract runs from 17 July 2026 to 31 March 2030, with a value of £163,672 net and £196,406 gross. The procurement was evaluated through a competitive framework call-off; the published data does not set out individual scoring criteria.

The award demonstrates established demand from Lincolnshire County Council for employment-support provision focused specifically on IPS in-work retention in North East Lincolnshire. A credible future competitor would need the ability to deliver voluntary support that helps people secure employment and sustain it, combining recruitment expertise with practical in-work retention services. Relevant experience should include working directly with individuals, employers and public-sector employment programmes, and delivering outcomes aligned with Department for Work and Pensions objectives. Providers should also be able to operate as the single lead service provider for a defined local area and compete through a framework’s further-competition route. The successful supplier’s profile shows that a sizeable, specialist social-care organisation was selected for this requirement.
