The procurement process was conducted through a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period ending on 15 March 2021, and the resulting contracts began on 26 April 2021, extending until 29 June 2026. The total contract value amounts to £2,579,590,114 GBP. The scheme's objective is to provide enhanced support for Universal Credit and Jobseekers Allowance claimants who have been out of work for 12 to 18 months, helping them overcome employment barriers through tailored support provided in collaboration with employers, local government, and other partners. This tender presents significant opportunities for both large organisations and SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), as well as VCSEs (voluntary, community, and social enterprises) that specialise in education and training services. Successful bidders, such as Serco Ltd, Jobs 22 Ltd, Reed in Partnership Ltd, Maximus UK Services Limited, G4S Facilities Management (UK) Limited, Ingeus UK Limited, Seetec Pluss Limited, and Fedcap Employment Limited, will collaborate to deliver bespoke support programmes targeting long-term unemployed individuals. This initiative not only fosters business growth by broadening service portfolios and potentially increasing market share but also contributes to social objectives by supporting job seekers in various regions, therefore enhancing community wellbeing and economic stability. ## Notice The new Restart Scheme will give Universal Credit and Jobseekers Allowance claimants who have been out of work for 6 months or more, enhanced support to find jobs. Referrals to the scheme have been extended for two years until June 2026. The Restart Scheme will break down employment barriers that could be holding them back from finding work. Providers will work with employers, local government and other partners to deliver tailored support for individuals. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ba9d897e-3c20-40ac-a1a2-16d586f55295 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | 15 Mar 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 25 Apr 2021 | | Contract period | 25 Apr 2021 -
