## Summary

The Walsall Council e-Tendering has awarded a contract for the provision of employment and community-based support to economically inactive residents. The contract value is £800,000, and the contract period is from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2025. The procurement stage was an open procedure, with the tender period ending on February 27, 2023.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses experienced in providing training and community services to economically inactive individuals aged 16 and above. The contract encourages innovative delivery models and aims to engage participants in activities to become work-ready. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

The Council wishes to procure a high-quality experienced provider to deliver employment and community-based support to economically inactive residents aged 16+, funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. A core offer should be provided, along with a broad range of support, designed with economic foundation in mind which engage economically inactive people in activities to become work ready. Employment will be one localised measure, but so too will be the engagement and confidence of participants to progress onto volunteering and other community-based opportunities. Support may include a mix of localised outreach, key worker, advice sessions, workshops, events and activities to link participants to the labour market, support around the cost of living, and referring participants to other services, as necessary. The Council encourages responders to consider a wide range of innovative delivery models. This project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
