## Summary

Norfolk County Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for their "connect to work programme," a service aimed at supporting economically inactive individuals from priority groups in finding and retaining employment. This initiative falls under the health and social work services industry category and is set to take place in Norwich, United Kingdom. Key dates to note include the future notice date on the 1st of July 2025, with the programme's contract period expected to begin on the 1st of October 2025 and conclude on the 30th of September 2028. This planned project is underpinned by legal standards set by the UK Public General Acts of 2023, classified as a planned notice under the procurement process.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those experienced in employment support and social inclusion programmes. Companies with innovative approaches to helping vulnerable populations transition back into the workforce may find this an excellent platform for growth. The voluntary nature of the participation in the "connect to work programme" suggests potential for companies to partner with local employment services, thereby expanding their influence and effectively demonstrating impact in community welfare initiatives. Businesses capable of delivering targeted, specialist support tailored to at-risk groups will be well-suited to compete in this procurement process.

## Notice

The programme will primarily provide support for people who are economically inactive within priority groups and want to work. It will also provide support to some people to retain work who are at risk of losing employment (and if they lose their job would be unlikely to move back into work without support). Individuals participating in CtW do so on a voluntary basis.
