Reed ESF Expression of Interest

Reed in Partnership ESF tender- Still time to register!

In our last newsletter we sent you a Reed in Partnership EOI- the deadline has been extended til the end of today/tomorrow morning (Weds 13 July).

The Process

The EOI asks for basic information about your organisation (contact info etc). Once you’ve submitted the EOI Reed will send you a more detailed assessment questionnaire (the last ones are being sent out Weds 13^th). The good news is that this questionnaire has been simplified and has an easy to use tick box format for most questions but will take approximately an hour or so to complete. Once you have passed the assessment you will be invited to quote for the ESF contract.

Reed in Partnership are hoping to their provider network for their ESF bid for support for families with multiple problems tender. They are looking for end to end and specialist provision and told the EDN that there is no size requirement and that small groups with local knowledge are welcome to apply.

About the ESF Families with Multiple Problems Provision

This tender is based on a whole family approach to tackling multi generational worklessness. The tender is related (like a family!) to the Single Work Programme- it’s imagined as a way to provide services for families which complement SWP provision. Just like with the SWP there are two CPAs- London East and London West. The following primes are going to bid in London:

CDG
Exemplas 
Inegus Deloitte 
Prospects  
Reed in Partnership 
Seetec 
Skills Training UK

The DWP has published a summary of the evidence submitted that has shaped the policy for employment related provision for families with multiple problems, you can read it here:
