## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions has awarded contracts for Access to Work Holistic Assessment services to Reed In Partnership Limited and Maximus UK Services Limited. The procurement stage was an Open Procedure (below threshold), and the contract period will last from 5th June 2023 to 4th April 2027. The total value of the program across both contracts is £18,074,603 exc. VAT (£21,689,524 inc. VAT). The tender period ended on 9th January 2023.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the Health and Social Work Services industry category. SMEs and VCSEs are suitable for competing in this procurement. The Department for Work and Pensions specifically restricted this opportunity to suppliers registered on the National Lot of the Commercial Agreement for Employment and Health Related Services. The procurement method was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with tenders required to be submitted by 9th January 2023 at 10am in English.

## Notice

The Department for Work and Pensions wishes to establish two (2) contracts, each with a different supplier, to deliver Access to Work (AtW): Holistic Assessments under the Access to Work Programme on a national basis (excluding Northern Ireland). In respect of each contract, Services are to be delivered throughout England, Wales and Scotland. A contract will be awarded for an initial referral period of four (4) years (plus an initial implementation period of up to 10 weeks), with the option to extend by up to an additional two (2) years. The anticipated value for the Programme for the initial four years + additional two years will be PS18,074,603 exc. VAT (PS21,689,524 inc. VAT) across both AtW: HA Contracts. The requirement was procured through a "Mini-Competition" through the National Lot on the DWP's Commercial Agreement for the provision of Employment and Health Related Services ("CAEHRS"). CAEHRS is a framework-style agreement for services listed in Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. This opportunity was restricted to suppliers who are registered on the National Lot of CAEHRS. No supplier may be awarded more than one contract.
