The brief

The Provider is expected to deliver the Provision across the whole of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly are a large, mostly rural geographical area which includes economically vibrant areas alongside areas of considerable deprivation.

As a minimum the Provider must deliver from premises in Penzance, Helston, Redruth (Camborne or Pool), Truro, St Austell, Bodmin, Liskeard and Launceston.

Service delivery under this contract is expected to commence in October 2016 and continue until September 2019.

There will be a further 64 week payment tail.

The contract value is £11,610,000 and there is a requirement for a minimum of 4947 Participants to start on this provision.

The aim of this provision is to provide a package of flexible and personalised support to targeted unemployed and inactive Participants to enhance their engagement with the labour market and work readiness and enable them to enter sustained employment.

The Provision will be delivered through a series of interventions which will focus on the specific needs of the individual.

The Provider must meet ESF specific requirements set by the European Commission and failure to comply can result in a high financial risk for both the Provider and DWP, as funds used inappropriately or for ineligible Participants or purposes and/or where the ESF requirements have not been met are recoverable from Providers.

The Provider will use the Provider Referral and Payment (PRaP) system to receive their referrals and to record claimant activity.

The Provider will therefore need to have met relevant security requirements when contracts go live.

This contract will be for the use of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), its Executive Agencies and those Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs) sponsored by DWP.

Further information including a list of such Agencies and Public Bodies can be viewed by selecting 'Ministerial Departments' on the Departmental website.
