The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with quotations being accepted until 25th November 2021. This initiative, set to span three years from 10th January 2022 to 9th January 2025, falls under the "Education and training services" category and is located in England. The total contract value is estimated at £350,000, with a minimum bid requirement of £35,000. The procurement method is open, allowing for any qualified organization to apply. This tender represents a significant opportunity for trusts, social care organisations, or collaborations with relevant experience in employability programmes, especially those targeting workforce challenges in health and social care. Businesses that can tailor their programmes to meet the needs of various communities and increase access for unemployed adults will be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this project can help organisations expand their portfolio and make a positive impact on local employment rates across the health and social care sectors. ## Notice Health Education England (HEE) is seeking to commission the delivery of a national programme of Step into Work, an off the shelf employability programme designed by trusts or social care organisations (or collaborations) in partnership with DWP, for adults aged 19+ receiving work related benefits to support them into health and social care roles. This work forms part of the Talent for Care strategic framework with a particular focus on widening participation for unemployed adults into entry level health and social care roles. This is a continuation of the current Step Into Work national programme and we are now looking to commission a further 10 organisations (trusts, social care or collaborations) to develop, deliver and evaluate an employability programme in partnership with DWP aimed at adults aged 19+ in receipt of work-related benefits aiming to progress individuals into entry level health and social care roles. This employability programme has the ability to flex the content and delivery to enable organisations to target particular widening access and participation groups within your communities and work to solve a workforce challenge. Quotations are invited to deliver these employment programme spanning over 3 years from 2022 - 2025. Regular reports, (anonymised) data and a full evaluation will be required.
