Scope
Description
We are seeking to award contracts to a variety of providers for the delivery of a targeted employment support service in Sheffield. We are particularly seeking to attract new providers and/or new ideas that can help us to reach new eligible participants in the city with this contract opportunity. Bidder have the option to bid for two different contract value options each with proportional levels of job targets to be achieved over the term of the contract; Category A £25,208 or Category B £50,417. Successful providers may also access a performance related bonus programme-wide pooled fund of £45-85,000 for achievement of select targets above their contracted targets (not included in the advertised contract value). This project is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and Economic Inactivity Trailblazer funds.
