The winning provider will work in partnership with the Council's Integrated Employment Service, WorkPath, and will be branded as a WorkPath partner.

The provider will be expected to develop and deliver a framework and programme to assist and work with residents within Tower Hamlets to achieve skills, employment and training outputs.

The service will be funded entirely by income secured by the provider from external sources.

The contract has a maximum term of 10 years, with break clauses at years 3,6 and 9. Continuation of the contract will be by mutual consent and primarily dependent on the provider's level of performance.

The council will not be liable for the lack of delegated access within the organisation and will not send any documentation regarding the contract, which shall be exclusively available through the portal.
