Procurement description
Connect to Work is a UK Government-funded employment program designed to help disabled people, those with health conditions, and individuals with complex barriers to employment find and maintain work. It's a voluntary program that integrates work, health, and skills support using a "place, train, and maintain" approach. This approach is based on the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model and the Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF). The program aims to support 4068 individuals in North Wales and up to 100,000 individuals across England and Wales.
We anticipate that Denbighshire Council may act as the lead Authority undertaking a procurement exercise on behalf of all six North Wales Authorities.
Suppliers are being engaged with to potentially deliver Supported Employment contracts within the employability sector as part of the Connect to Work Programme for North Wales. The contracts will involve supporting people with disabilities who want to work to find local employment sustainable employment.
