UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions commissioned a work and health educational package for people who regularly support workers with health problems. It is intended to help them hold practical conversations and develop agreed action plans on workability, supporting workers to return to work or enter employment. The service is staff training. Delivery covers areas across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to The At Work Partnership Ltd. The Department used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition, and the contract was signed on 15 October 2026. The single lot covers the educational package. The contract value is £35,000 excluding VAT (£42,000 including VAT), for a period from 16 October to 15 November 2026. The award is active. The stated requirement focuses on a package for people who hold regular work and health conversations and help workers with health problems agree practical workability action plans; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded.

For suppliers considering similar future work for the Department for Work & Pensions, this award indicates demand for focused staff training on work and health conversations, rather than general employment support. A credible provider would need expertise in helping practitioners work with people whose health affects employment, and the ability to translate that expertise into an educational package supporting practical action planning and return to work or entry into employment. The buyer selected a supplier through a below-threshold direct award, so this example does not demonstrate competitive evaluation requirements. The modest, short-term engagement suggests a defined package rather than a large, ongoing delivery programme; suppliers should be able to provide the relevant training within a concentrated delivery period and across multiple areas of England.
