    Brief

    The UK Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is seeking innovative products and services to support the new Jobs and Careers Service (JCS), a universal employment support service being created to help people find work, progress in their careers, and access training. This is a preliminary market engagement to explore third-party solutions, including AI-powered tools, across 12 employment support categories: career advice, career planning, skills gap analysis, financial planning, career coaching, learning and training provision, job discovery, job market insights, CV support, job application support, application tracking, and interview support. DWP is particularly focused on creating a digital, inclusive service with personalised support. This engagement will inform future procurement strategies, which may be structured as multiple separate procurements covering individual or groups of categories, potentially running in parallel or phased over time. Suppliers are welcome to express interest in specific components of the wider scope. Key commercial details including procurement procedures, contract values, timelines, and framework approach are still being determined and will be confirmed in future notices.
