## Summary

The procurement process involves the DEPARTMENT FOR WORK AND PENSIONS, aiming to deliver "Mentoring and Employability Skills for 50+ Claimants in London & the Home Counties." This initiative falls within the Education and Training Services industry category, primarily targeting claimants aged 50 and over in London. The procurement is currently at the Award stage, with a contract value of £69,755 and the contract period running from 1st June 2015 to 1st July 2016. The tender was initiated through an open procedure with the deadline for submission on 9th February 2015.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for organisations specialising in mentoring, training, and employability services geared towards older demographics. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for this contract, leveraging their expertise in providing tailored support to help older claimants overcome barriers to employment.

## Notice

The provision is targeted at claimants primarily in receipt of JSA aged 50+ but does not exclude other claimant groups but this is where we would expect most of the claimants to come from, It is intended to assist claimants to tackle challenges and remove barriers that maybe preventing them from returning to work. The journey back to work for this group of claimants can be complex and for many, the first step is to engage with the concept that work is a possibility and then move onto the practical steps of making this a reality.
