The Council is considering the procurement of services to support delivery of the Economic Inactivity Trailblazer through targeted, community-based interventions designed to help individuals address the underlying barriers preventing them from entering or returning to employment. The requirement is expected to complement existing employability provision, including Communities for Work Plus, by focusing on people who are economically inactive and furthest from the labour market, particularly those affected by disability, long-term health conditions, caring responsibilities, low confidence, poor wellbeing or other complex and interrelated barriers. Potential provision may include tailored one-to-one and group-based support, mentoring, confidence building, wellbeing-related interventions, skills development, and other locally responsive activities that help individuals move closer to work. The Council is particularly interested in innovative and flexible delivery models that can respond to local need, work collaboratively with existing services and community partners, and demonstrate how support can be designed around the needs of participants rather than a standardised approach. Through this preliminary market engagement, the Council wishes to better understand the range of services available in the market, delivery capacity, potential models for partnership working, and approaches to achieving positive employability and wellbeing outcomes for this client group.
