Connect to Work is being delivered as part of new Mayoral powers to convene local supported employment provision, contributing to both the national “Get Britain Working” plan and the Local Growth Plan.
A core aim of the Government’s economic growth mission is to build an inclusive labour market, improve living standards, and ensure sustainable funding for public services.
Connect to Work supports the Government's ambition to achieve an 80% employment rate, forming a key component of reforms to employment support — integrating skills, health, and pathways into sustained employment.

Delivery will align with local priorities and will be supported through partnerships with health services, employers, and wider system stakeholders to enhance regional awareness and collaboration.
This market engagement session will provide system partners with an update on the programme’s progress and give potential Prime Providers an overview of the planned approach ahead of the formal procurement process.
