Future Employment Support - Seetec EOI

Procurement reference

SBTCFES001

Procurement description

Future Employment Support will be a major new national programme. It will be designed to support unemployed Universal Credit claimants into sustained employment through personalised support, stronger employer engagement, local integration, and specialist provision. It will respond to individual needs and regional labour market priorities.

Seetec are taking an inclusive two-stage approach to building strong local partnerships.

We are inviting organisations to complete stage one in a two stage process. This first stage is a light-touch Expression of interest (EOI), designed to help us to understand your organisation, your local presence, your specialist capability and your interest in working with us.

The second stage will be a more detailed Request for Information (RFI) for shortlisted organisations, which will be weighted and scored to support partner selection, supply chain design and future co-design activity. At Seetec, we recognise the time and resource commitment that partner engagement processes can place on organisations, particularly SMEs, VCSEs, and specialist providers. We have therefore separated this process into two stages so that all interested organisations can express interest without needing to complete a full scored submission at the outset.

We are inviting organisations of all sizes to register their interest in partnering with Seetec. We are particularly interested in organisations with strong local connections, specialist expertise, trusted stakeholder relationships and innovative approaches to supporting people into work.

This initial EOI is intentionally light-touch and has been designed to understand your organisation, your local presence, and specialist expertise.

Whether you are an SME, VCSE, charity, social enterprise, specialist provider, or larger delivery organisation, we want to hear from you.

If you share our ambition to deliver locally integrated, high-quality support, we look forward to learning more about your organisation.
