The total contract value is £6,500,000 and the contract term is expected to span three years, commencing on 1st March 2019 and concluding on 28th February 2022. This procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 30th April 2018. The programme falls under the categories of business services, health and social work services, and community support, relevant to the North West region of England. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in sectors such as health services, consulting, recruitment, and community support. Companies that can provide innovative solutions for early intervention and job retention programmes for individuals with health challenges would be particularly well-suited to compete. Collaborative bids and partnerships are encouraged, enabling small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to leverage their expertise in supporting individuals back into sustained employment, thereby establishing a stronger service offering for Greater Manchester residents. ## Notice Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) wish to invite providers to express their interest for the provision of the Greater Manchester Working Well Early Help Programme. This is a partnership programme between the GMCA and the GM Health and Social Care Partnership (GMHSCP). The aim of the proposal is to develop and test an effective early intervention system available to GM residents in work who become ill and risk falling out of the labour market, or are newly unemployed due to health issues, in order to enable a more rapid and sustainable return to the labour market. GMCA will be procuring Working Well Early Help on behalf of the GMCA and the GMHSCP. The contract will be awarded by the GMCA. Through its devolution agreements, Greater Manchester has a strong track record of delivering commissioned support to people long-term out of work with health conditions through the GM Working Well Programme, working collaboratively with DWP. GM Health and Social Care devolution presents opportunities to test an enhanced role for the health system in terms of health and employment-related support. This is set out in the Greater Manchester Population Health Plan, part of 'Taking Charge', the GM Health and Social Care Strategy, which sets out the need for prevention and earlier intervention to support people to remain in good quality employment. This programme supports the development of a whole population approach to people of working age in Greater Manchester, and building on the Working Well brand, prioritises the development of 'GM Working Well - Early Help' - to design and test an early intervention service to people with health conditions, who are at risk of falling out employment, or are newly unemployed. The contract term is expected to be for three years. We welcome consortia bids & other collaborative approaches to ensure that GM residents have the very best service offer that will help then into sustained employment. This marketing event is an opportunity for all interested providers to network and hear about our vision for this programme. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/151af86c-840d-4307-b2c9-a4c4bafd5a27 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Mar 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 29 Apr 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2019 - 28 Feb 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £6,500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GREATER MANCHESTER COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | STRETFORD | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M32 0TH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Trafford | | Electoral ward | Gorse Hill & Cornbrook | | Westminster constituency | Stretford and Urmston | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 16 Mar 2018 at 10:21 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/151af86c-840d-4307-b2c9-a4c4bafd5a27 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/151af86c-840d-4307-b2c9-a4c4bafd5a27 16th March 2018 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=fc13efb8-a602-e811-80ea-005056b64545 Expression of Interest - Greater Manchester Working Well (Early Help) Programme ## Notice URLs - http://www.trafford.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
