## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by FEDCAP EMPLOYMENT LIMITED, focuses on the delivery of the National Jobs Guarantee Scheme Grant on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). This tender, titled "The Jobs Guarantee - RFP", is part of an active tender stage with a procurement method classified as an open procedure above threshold. The industry falls under "Education and training services" and covers services within the United Kingdom, more specifically in England.

FEDCAP, operating from Stockton-on-Tees, England, acts as the buyer for this initiative aimed at offering employment opportunities to young people aged 18-24.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), capable of offering specialist employment support services. With a focus on an employment-first approach, businesses involved will engage with local employers to provide real job opportunities, making it suitable for those with strong local links and expertise in matching job roles to candidates’ skills and interests. Competing firms have the potential to make a notable impact in reducing long-term unemployment while gaining valuable experience and exposure in delivering government employment programmes.

## Notice

Fedcap is exploring the opportunity to deliver the National Jobs Guarantee Scheme Grant released by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The Jobs Guarantee is a national employment programme designed to support young people aged 18-24 who have been unemployed and claiming Universal Credit for 18 months or more. It aims to break the cycle of long-term unemployment by offering every eligible participant a guaranteed, fully funded six month paid job, alongside tailored support to help them succeed and progress. Delivered by specialist Delivery Partners, the programme focuses on an employment-first approach, where young people move quickly into real jobs rather than extended pre-employment training. Partners work closely with local employers to source suitable roles -funded for up to 25 hours per week at the relevant minimum wage - and match participants based on their skills, interests, and needs.
