    Brief

    Somerset Council is seeking one or more Delivery Partners to deliver supported employment services through the Connect to Work programme, a Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) funded initiative. The programme supports two groups: individuals who are economically inactive and wish to work, and individuals currently employed but at risk of losing their jobs. Delivery Partners will use evidence-based supported employment models through two separate lots: Lot 1 focuses on Individual Placement and Support (IPS), and Lot 2 uses the Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF). This is part of the Government's Get Britain Working strategy, which aims to reduce economic inactivity and support sustainable employment through locally-led, integrated approaches. Interested suppliers should have experience delivering supported employment services and demonstrated expertise in either or both of the specified employment support models.
