## Summary

East Lothian Council has recently completed a public procurement process for the "Disabled Parents Project," aimed at supporting unemployed disabled parents in East Lothian. This project, funded by the Scottish Government, focused on addressing barriers to employment and providing key worker support and paid work experience opportunities. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, and the contract was awarded on 1 March 2022 to Enable Scotland, with a total value of £127,535. The project also involves the delivery of community benefits to enhance social and economic outcomes within the locality.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the social services sector, particularly those experienced in providing support to disabled individuals and families. Businesses offering employment support, training services, or specialised programmes tailored to diverse needs would be well-positioned to compete. The emphasis on innovative strategies to overcome employment barriers indicates a demand for services that can demonstrate flexibility and responsiveness to the challenges faced by disabled parents, bolstering potential growth for capable organisations in this field.

## Notice

As part of the Disabled Parents Employability Support Fund, East Lothian Works have received funding from the Scottish Government to identify and address barriers faced by unemployed disabled parents in entering and sustaining employment. This funding is part of the commitment within A Fairer Scotland for Disabled People - Employment Action Plan (2018). East Lothian Works are seeking to procure a service which will support unemployed disabled parents to progress towards and into employment (including paid work experience opportunities and key worker support) . Evidence which has emerged over the past year indicates the significant impact the COVID pandemic has had on the employment prospects of disabled parents. This investment will support new and innovative action to support disabled parents and help drive progress both towards halving the disability employment gap and helping achieve the ambitious child poverty targets. We require a specialist service which recognises the diverse employability needs and barriers of parents with disabilities
