## Summary

Lincolnshire County Council commissioned a voluntary Connect to Work service in North East Lincolnshire. The requirement is Lot 1C: 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. In practical terms, this is a specialist employment-support and recruitment service helping people who are not working move towards and sustain employment through an IPS approach. Delivery is focused on North East Lincolnshire, while the contracting authority is Lincolnshire County Council. The procurement is categorised as services, with the associated classification describing recruitment services. It is a single-lot requirement under the Connect to Work provision.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. Lincolnshire County Council used a competitive further competition under a framework, using a selective procedure. One supplier was selected for the single lot: STANDGUIDE LIMITED. The award was dated 4 August 2026 and has a net value of £2,105,247.50, or £2,526,297 gross, including VAT, in GBP. The standstill period ends on 19 August 2026, with contract signature scheduled for 20 August 2026. The contract period is from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2030. The award is recorded as pending, so the selection has been made but the contract has not yet reached an active signed-contract status.

This outcome shows established demand from Lincolnshire County Council for specialist IPS employment support for people who are out of work in North East Lincolnshire. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need practical experience of individual placement and support, employment coaching and sustained links with employers, alongside the ability to deliver a voluntary service for people facing barriers to work. Credibility would also depend on understanding Department for Work and Pensions objectives and translating them into measurable local provision. Organisations with recruitment-service capability, experienced staff and sufficient operational capacity to support delivery across a multi-year service period would be relevant competitors. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only a large national organisation.
