Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council commissioned a single provider to deliver voluntary Connect to Work support for people who are out of work in North Lincolnshire. The service sits within Lot 2B of the Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF) and contributes to Department for Work and Pensions objectives. In practical terms, this is a supported employment and recruitment service intended to help out-of-work individuals move towards employment. Delivery is in North Lincolnshire. The council is the public-sector buyer. The requirement is classified as recruitment services, so relevant organisations are likely to include supported employment providers, employability specialists, recruitment organisations and voluntary or community-sector bodies with the capability to work directly with people who are out of work.

The procurement is complete and was run as a competitive further competition under a framework, using a selective procedure. One lot was awarded to INCLUSIVE MEDIA SOLUTIONS LTD. The award was made on 19 June 2026, with a gross value of £667,255 (£556,046 excluding VAT). The standstill period ended on 7 July 2026. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 17 July 2026 to 31 March 2030. The award value is above the relevant threshold. The successful supplier is based in Poole. The procurement sought one provider for the North Lincolnshire service, rather than separate awards across multiple lots. The contract is active and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates established demand from Lincolnshire County Council for structured employment support for out-of-work people in North Lincolnshire, delivered through the Supported Employment Quality Framework. Competitors would need credible experience of supported employment and employability provision, including helping people progress towards work and coordinating delivery against public employment objectives. Relevant strength in recruitment services would also matter, particularly the ability to engage employers and support suitable job outcomes. A strong organisation would need the operational capacity to deliver a single-provider service across the area, manage participant support consistently and evidence performance against contractual requirements. Providers with voluntary, community or social-enterprise experience, and organisations familiar with quality-assured supported employment frameworks, would be well placed when assessing similar demand from this buyer.
