## Summary

Wigan Council commissioned the WorkWell Programme, a community and employment support service for people facing health-related barriers to work. The service provides early-intervention work and health assessments, followed by light-touch, holistic support tailored to participants’ needs. It includes employer liaison and work and health coaching, creating a single joined-up pathway into locally available services. The work falls within community, social and personal services and is delivered across Greater Manchester. This requirement would suit organisations providing employment support, vocational coaching, health-related assessments, employer engagement and referral or coordination services. Suppliers need to be able to connect participants with local provision while delivering a coherent support pathway around their individual barriers to employment.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Wigan Council used a below-threshold direct award without competition, with the contract signed on 31 March 2026. The contract was awarded to Ingeus UK Ltd and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £153,198.80 excluding VAT, or £183,838.56 including VAT. The procurement was evaluated as a service requirement, with one completed package covering delivery of the WorkWell Programme. The award is active and the contract is active. The stated legal basis is the Procurement Act 2023. The requirement covers assessment, coaching, employer liaison, holistic participant support and access to locally available services across Greater Manchester.

This procurement indicates demand from Wigan Council for integrated employment and health support rather than a standalone training or recruitment service. A credible competitor would need experience of early-intervention assessment, work and health coaching, employer engagement and supporting people whose health creates barriers to employment. It would also need the operational capability to provide light-touch, holistic support and maintain effective referral routes into local services. The selected supplier is a large employment-support organisation, indicating that experience in delivering structured participant pathways and coordinating with employers and community provision is relevant. Organisations considering comparable work should be able to demonstrate joined-up delivery, local service knowledge, participant-centred practice and sufficient capacity to manage the programme across Greater Manchester.
