Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council, located in Paisley, has recently completed a public procurement process titled "Thinking About Work (Working Matters)," aimed at providing intensive pre-employability training for clients involved in the Invest in Renfrewshire Employability Programmes. The procurement was executed through an open procedure in the services category, with a total contract value of £71,250. The procurement stage was awarded on November 2, 2017, following a tender period which concluded on October 4, 2017. This initiative primarily targets unemployed residents of Renfrewshire facing complex health barriers to employment, ranging in age from 16 to 64 years.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for training and employability service providers, particularly those with experience in addressing complex barriers to employment and delivering intensive training programmes. Businesses specialising in social services, mental health support, or vocational training would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. As public sector organisations increasingly seek to enhance workforce readiness through specialised training, there may be growing opportunities for providers who can demonstrate effective outcomes for long-term unemployed individuals.
