This event is aimed at providers who may be interested in being part of the framework agreement. We intend to give potential providers an overview of how the procurement process will be run, how the contract form will be structured and key areas they should look to be aware of in order to increase their chances of success in terms of being included on the framework. There will also be an opportunity to hear from the Commissioners in terms of their goals for the framework.\nInitial mini-competitions against the framework are likely to take in Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country's initial requirements under the WorkWell programme. It is also possible that other future requirements both from the ICB and Local Authority partners will utilise the framework.\nIn terms of the service itself, suppliers who are on the framework will be required to carry out specific Work and Health and/or Employment Support provisions as programme opportunities present themselves. These will be specified as part of the mini-competitions run against the framework and individual specifications around these will be issued as and when these opportunities present themselves. Where applicable, providers will be expected to deliver these provisions in accordance with the applicable funding rules and appropriate guidance which may be linked to the funding stream(s).\nIt is anticipated that the framework will be split into 6, headline lots with 12 sub-lots , these are generally geographical in nature with lot 6a and b covering pathways which cut across Birmingham and the Black Country.

The service provides holistic support to help people overcome health-related barriers to employment, and a single, joined-up gateway to other related services within the system. \nDuring the last 18 months, the pilot has helped thousands of local people across Black Country to address their work and health needs so that they can start or stay in employment.\nIn January this year the government announced further investment in the WorkWell approach, and as we develop our ambitions for further integration of work and health services across the Black Country we are planning a market engagement event to discuss our plans for the future delivery of this service. \nThe event will help us to shape our preparations to develop local delivery models for the roll out of WorkWell services in Black Country for a period of up to three years from 2026-2029 so that we can meet our population work and health needs. \nWe would invite organisations with a potential interest in the future delivery of WorkWell Services across the Black Country to hear about service developments to date, and help us to shape our future service plans for delivery within Sandwell, Wolverhampton, Walsall and Dudley. \nWe would be particularly keen to hear from suppliers of work and health services with an interest in delivering within the Black Country footprint who would like to participate in discussions with the wider market alongside the ICB, and our partners in local authorities.\nWe expect demand for places will be high, so, to allow as many different providers as possible to be in attendance, would politely request that one representative only attends for each organisation registered.

We intend to give potential providers an overview of how the procurement process will be run, how the contract form will be structured and key areas they should look to be aware of in order to increase their chances of success in terms of being included on the framework. There will also be an opportunity to hear from the Commissioners in terms of their goals for the framework.\nInitial mini-competitions against the framework are likely to take in Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country's initial requirements under the WorkWell programme. It is also possible that other future requirements both from the ICB and Local Authority partners will utilise the framework.\nIn terms of the service itself, suppliers who are on the framework will be required to carry out specific Work and Health and/or Employment Support provisions as programme opportunities present themselves.
