## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has awarded a contract titled "In Work Progression" with the objective to support the department's Futures thinking and enable better delivery of In-Work Progression (IWP). This contract falls under the industry category of business services including law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security (CPV code: 79000000). The procurement process has been completed, with Ipsos Mori selected as the supplier. The contract, valued at £171,950, runs from 5th June 2024 to 5th February 2025, and will provide services to various regions, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, marking the final award stage of the process.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses involved in consulting and business services to engage with government projects aimed at tackling complex issues like systemic barriers in employment progression. The work requires expert skills in Futures thinking, making it an ideal fit for businesses with relevant strategic consultancy capabilities. While the contract is specifically not targeting SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises with the requisite expertise in consulting services will find this contract valuable for expanding their portfolio and demonstrating their ability to manage extensive government contracts successfully.

## Notice

For the department to be able to deliver IWP effectively we need to explore alternative ways that we can deliver that are less W/C dependant or risk not meeting our strategic objective. Progression is a complex problem with a wide range of systemic barriers that stop people progressing. We require a supplier to provide and enable us to apply Futures thinking expertise to support DWP to progress IWP. We do not have this capability within the department to undertake this work internally.
