## Notice

This Provision will focus on delivering a package of support to help unemployed and economically inactive people within the Hertfordshire LEP area find and keep a job. It will be targeted at different groups and delivery is expected to be appropriately tailored to meet the needs of the Participant to engage, address barriers to work and improve their chances of securing and sustaining employment. This Provision is voluntary and will aim to reduce the number of people who are inactive or not in employment in the Hertfordshire LEP area. The Provider must meet ESF specific requirements set by the European Commission and failure to comply can result in a high financial risk for both the Provider and DWP, as funds used inappropriately or for ineligible Participants or purposes and/or where the ESF requirements have not been met are recoverable from Providers. The Provider will use the Provider Referral and Payment (PRaP) system to receive their referrals and to record claimant activity. The Provider will therefore need to have met relevant security requirements when contracts go live.
