Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council commissioned voluntary Connect to Work provision under Lot 1C: Individual Placement and Support (IPS) for people who are out of work in North East Lincolnshire. The service contributes to objectives set by the Department for Work and Pensions and is classified as recruitment services. The requirement concerns helping people who are out of work through an IPS-based employment support service, delivered in North East Lincolnshire. Lincolnshire County Council is the buying organisation. This is a public-service provision rather than a supply of goods or construction work, and is relevant to organisations delivering employment support, recruitment, vocational rehabilitation or related services for people seeking 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 STANDGUIDE LIMITED on 4 August 2026. The award value is £2,105,247.50 excluding VAT, or £2,526,297 including VAT. The awarded contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2030; the contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and its recorded contract period runs from that date to 31 March 2030. The award was above the relevant threshold. A standstill period ended on 19 August 2026. The published information identifies the route as a competitive framework call-off, but does not set out separate scoring weightings or additional lot-level evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates established demand from Lincolnshire County Council for a substantial, multi-year IPS employment-support service focused on people out of work in North East Lincolnshire. A credible future competitor would need to deliver voluntary provision that combines recruitment and employment support with the Individual Placement and Support model, understand the needs of unemployed people and employers, and contribute to Department for Work and Pensions objectives. Relevant experience in helping people move towards and sustain work, employer engagement, participant support and service delivery in North East Lincolnshire would be directly pertinent. Suppliers should also be able to compete through the relevant framework route and manage a service of significant public-sector scale over several years.
