The Growth & Investment team on behalf of Norfolk County Council (NCC) was one of 12 local authorities across the country successfully awarded funding following a competitive bidding process and a contract worth PS2.72m was signed in summer of 2023. Following a procurement process, Seetec Pluss were awarded a contract (valued at PS2.281m) to deliver this provision to 1,100 Norfolk residents, branded as Working Well Norfolk (WWN). The project launched in October 2023 and will recruit participants up to November 2024 with participant support ending in March 2025. In both the spring and autumn budgets in 2023 UK Government announced a further round of funding, entitled Universal Support (US), which would take on board the lessons learned from IPSPC and LSE and deliver supported employment provision to both IPSPC and LSE cohorts as well as a wider cohort of economically inactive disadvantaged participants. Additional information: This extension will be granted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended) regulation 32 (2) (b) (ii) namely competition is absent for technical reasons and also in the alternative 32 (2) (c). This is a short extension from November 2024 to Jan 2026 to the contract with Seetec Pluss.
