## Summary

The procurement process concerns the "Employment Support for Troubled Families" project, led by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), targeting the Central London Local Enterprise Partnership Area. This contract, part of the services industry, is structured under an open procurement method with a total value of £4,379,899. The contract period began on 23 January 2017 and concluded on 24 January 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in employment services, particularly those focused on supporting disadvantaged groups such as unemployed individuals from troubled families. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to participate in this tender, as the holistic approach to employment support aligns with their expertise and community engagement initiatives. By collaborating with local authorities and tailoring services to individual family needs, businesses can position themselves effectively to not only secure contracts but also contribute to positive societal outcomes.

## Notice

This Provision is voluntary and will aim to tackle worklessness of unemployed and inactive individuals from troubled families to move them into sustained work. The provision will engage with the family and individuals to identify and address barriers to work, by developing close working arrangements with other local services involved in the support of the troubled family (for example Local Authorities), and using a range of tailored support/provision, which will move them into sustained work at the earliest opportunity. The focus of the Provision will be on providing a holistic whole family approach, making support available to eligible individual family members. The provision will take into account the problems faced by the family, which are preventing the individuals from securing and retaining employment. It will give consideration to the best way for the ESF Provision to work alongside other interventions the family is receiving, to provide the best package of support possible.
