GMCA Individual Placement and Support in Primary Care (IPSPC) Initiative

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is looking to procure a lead provider to deliver the GM Working Well: Individual Placement and Support in Primary Care (WW: IPSPC) service for Greater Manchester residents. The service, funded by the Department for Work & Pensions (DWP), will provide support for 1,500 GM residents between 31st July 2023 to 31st March 2025 (with provision to extend the contract on a 1+1+1 basis subject to performance and funding). The WW: IPSPC service will sit within the GM Working Well suite of programmes and delivery is expected to take place in co-locations within a range of primary and community NHS health services and professionals. Participants will come from two distinct cohorts: • Out of work participants who require assistance and support to move into competitive employment; and • In work participants who are off sick or struggling in the workplace due to their disability / health condition. Referrals to the programme will start in August 2023 and end in November 2024. Tender Docs and details on how to apply can be found on the Chest address above
