Description

Connect to Work aims to address 'Hidden Unemployment' through a collaborative, locally driven approach, helping local communities to unlock their potential and contribute to both local and national growth. Quality employment is known to positively impact physical and mental health, providing income, social interaction, and a sense of purpose.
Fedcap will seek to submit tenders and are looking for potential delivery partners to be named in our submissions.

Our approach is to embrace local capacity to deliver IPS and/or SEQF services to eligible residents and we seek partners who can bring:

1. Understanding and experience of supported employment delivery models including Individual Placement and Support (IPS) and/or Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF)
2. Local knowledge, insight and relationships, evidenced through integrated delivery/partnership with health services, social care and community/faith-based organisations

Interested organisations should complete the below Request for Proposal (RFP) regarding working with us on this opportunity. Please note that it will be likely that we will partner with different organisations in each of the county areas, reflecting the unique and differing needs of people living in Berkshire and Hampshire
