Description

Reed in Partnership were successful in securing places on the DWP Commercial Agreement for Employment and Health-Related Services (CAEHRS) Framework in:

Every English lot as a Tier 1 organisation
Scotland and Wales as a Tier 2 organisation
The National lot

We are a national provider of government services, with 22 years' experience of engaging and supporting the hardest to reach participants across the employment, skills, health and youth service markets. In this time, we have supported over 150,000 people into employment. Being part of the family-owned Reed Group, we also have access to an extensive employer network.

We are now seeking initial expressions of interest (EOI) from organisations who can deliver:
End-to-end customer journey, from engagement to employment sustainment; or
Specialist support for participants to enable them to address personal barriers and succeed in their employment journey.

As we do not yet have sight of what the call-off contracts may require, we have released a brief EOI to gather interested parties contact details, summary of employability provision experience and geographical coverage.

Please note: Requirements of this contract are dependent on the schedule for DWP CAEHRS call-offs, which may change once the final bidding documents are released by DWP. We will update providers on this.

Please visit our webpage to complete our EOI: https://www.reedinpartnership.co.uk/partners/latest-opportunities

The deadline for responding to this EOI is 5pm on Thursday 22nd October 2020.

Details of how we score EOIs, how we work with partners and a copy of our Supply Chain Charter can all be found on our website.

You can contact us via partner.network@reed.com should you have any questions or require further information. Thank you for your interest in working with us.
