Under the People and Skills intervention, Wolverhampton has allocated funding from its local allocation against the following UK SPF intervention area:
• E33 Employment Support for Economically Inactive People
The Council is now looking to commission three contracts via three lots for the provision of employment support for unemployed and economically inactive residents. The contracts will deliver three separate but complementary services focusing on improvement to health, increased inclusion and improvement to employability skills.
The provision will add to the Council's Wolves at Work employment support programme, providing enhanced support to those who are further from the job market and providing wrap-around support to those who need it most.
The provider(s) will be required to work closely with the Council provision to ensure best value is delivered to unemployed and economically inactive residents, including links to the Council's other skills and employment programmes.
Lot 1 - Improvement to Health = £150,000
Lot 2 - Increase Inclusion = £150,000
Lot 3 - Improve Employability Skills = £106,000
