## Summary

Lincolnshire County Council commissioned a single provider to deliver voluntary Connect to Work support under Lot 1B: Individual Placement and Support (IPS) for people who are out of work. The service is intended to contribute to objectives set by the Department for Work and Pensions and will be delivered in North Lincolnshire. The requirement is classified as a service, with the associated classification describing recruitment services. It concerns employment support for people outside work, rather than general recruitment alone, so relevant suppliers are organisations able to provide IPS-based, person-centred support and help participants move towards employment. The council is the buyer and commissioning authority for this North Lincolnshire provision.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. It was run as a competitive further competition under an existing framework, using a selective procedure, for one completed lot. STANDGUIDE LIMITED was selected as the provider on 4 August 2026. The awarded value is £1,313,897.50 excluding VAT, or £1,576,677 including VAT. The contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2030. A standstill period ends on 19 August 2026, with contract signature scheduled for 20 August 2026. The published outcome identifies one provider for the full Lot 1B requirement; the available procurement information does not set out separate evaluation weightings or additional eligibility thresholds.

This outcome indicates established demand from Lincolnshire County Council for sustained, specialist employment support for people who are out of work. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would combine practical IPS delivery with the ability to engage participants, understand individual barriers to employment, build relationships with employers and support people into and towards work. Credible competitors would need experience delivering voluntary employment or recruitment-related services at county or sub-regional scale, with the operational capacity to manage a multi-year public service contract and demonstrate outcomes aligned with Department for Work and Pensions objectives. Familiarity with framework further competitions and single-provider delivery would also be commercially relevant.

## Notice
