Interested suppliers must register their interest via the BRAVO system by 25th October 2019 at 5pm to participate. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the employment and health support services sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

The objective of the agreement is to provide employment and health related support services helping people who are unemployed, disabled, have a health condition or barrier to work to select, train for, obtain and retain employment (Services). The types of support services required may vary over time and with the needs of the people being supported. This procurement relates to the health, social and related services Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR) as a social service. This procurement is being conducted under the Light Touch Regime (LTR) and therefore is subject to limited regulation and will be conducted in accordance with regulations 74 to 76 PCR.
