The project, classified under the CPV code for education and training services, aims to trial telephony-based interventions for Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) claimants. The contract, awarded on August 1, 2014, is active and has a total value of £58,150, with a project period starting on August 4, 2014, and concluding on December 5, 2014. The procurement method used was an open procedure, providing an inclusive platform for participation. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on mental health services, employment support, and educational training, particularly SMEs and voluntary and community sector enterprises that can offer specialised telephony-based support. Companies equipped to develop and implement innovative employment interventions, as well as those with experience in addressing the wellbeing needs of unemployed individuals, would be well-suited to engage in this initiative, potentially leading to expansion and greater involvement in the public sector. ## Notice Through the Contestable Policy Fund, RAND Europe were commissioned by the Minister for Welfare Reform and the Minister for Care and Support to develop proposals for measures on how to achieve better outcomes for people with common mental health problems who are in and out of work, with a focus on better alignment of employment and health services. North East Yorkshire & Humber and South Yorkshire JCP Districts intend to use the FSF to carry out a pilot to test the concept of telephony -based employment and wellbeing interventions for specific JSA claimants not attached to the Work Programme, via the award of a single contract for both districts. The pilot will test the concept of a telephony intervention for JSA claimants including the newly unemployed; young people with no work record; and new entrants to JSA from other benefits who express concern about their general wellbeing or the impact that undertaking jobsearch will have on their wellbeing, or where their JCP job coach perceives similar issues. The aim of the pilot is to test the design detail of the intervention model, methods of tracking findings and, where possible, initial effects. These findings, alongside the results of other pilots, will help inform future considerations on what types of support best assist claimants with employment and wellbeing needs to progress in the labour market. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7b298c85-41e4-4006-8ee2-f86b6a15bed2 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | 7 Jul 2014 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Jul 2014 | | Contract period | 3 Aug 2014 - 5 Dec 2014 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £58,150 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £58,150 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR WORK AND PENSIONS | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B15 1SL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Edgbaston | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Edgbaston | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | REMPLOY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7b298c85-41e4-4006-8ee2-f86b6a15bed2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7b298c85-41e4-4006-8ee2-f86b6a15bed2 20th May 2015 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b87dcd17-bd0f-4ec4-8271-e93a5257dc6d Tender CPA2 - REDACTED - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0eba815b-472a-4f12-bda6-04e5a6946b26 TENDER CPA 1 REDACTED - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/72d31ac7-ea15-4b54-b348-12c038430368 Qualification Envelope REDACTED - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3e198713-909e-4b94-baf8-371bfb89cd91 Terms and Conditions CPA2 - REDACTED - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6822b7e7-ad89-4a01-adcc-2adf5188a688 Deed of Variation - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5d4a0e34-eef5-4c32-b5d0-8f9aa6d6b0ee Deed of Variation - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3e105a57-3b8a-4fcf-88b8-ada0f7805505 Terms and Conditions CPA1 - REDAC TED ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
