Currently, it is estimated that there are about 3 million economically inactive people in the UK, of whom 1.9million people would like to work, but require support to do so. Norfolk County Council is expected to support 1200 individuals (annually in peak years) at an anticipated and average cost of £3.6million per year, delivered over an initial three-year period, with the opportunity to extend to 4.5 years. Connect to Work will help connect local work, health and skills support and help eligible participants to secure sustainable work through a voluntary supported employment model, adhering to Individual Placement & Support (IPS) and Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF) frameworks. Through this, Connect to Work will expand the use of the proven five stage Supported Employment model of 'place, train and maintain' ## Lots (6) ### Lot LOT-0001: 1 - **Lot id:** `LOT-0001` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 79600000, 79611000, 98000000, 98110000 - **Delivery regions:** NF, UKH - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB, NF - **Estimated Value:** £606,100 - **Description:** North Norfolk - **Contract Period:** 25/08/2025 to 25/08/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot LOT-0002: 2 - **Lot id:** `LOT-0002` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 79600000, 79611000, 98000000, 98110000 - **Estimated Value:** £1,516,700 - **Description:** Breckland - **Contract Period:** 25/08/2025 to 25/08/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot LOT-0003: 3 - **Lot id:** `LOT-0003` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 79600000, 79611000, 98000000, 98110000 - **Estimated Value:** £1,215,100 - **Description:** Broadland & South Norfolk - **Contract Period:** 25/08/2025 to 25/08/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot LOT-0004: 4 - **Lot id:** `LOT-0004` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 79600000, 79611000, 98000000, 98110000 - **Estimated Value:** £1,516,700 - **Description:** King’s Lynn & West Norfolk - **Contract Period:** 25/08/2025 to 25/08/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot LOT-0005: 5 - **Lot id:** `LOT-0005` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 79600000, 79611000, 98000000, 98110000 - **Estimated Value:** £1,821,200 - **Description:** Great Yarmouth - **Contract Period:** 25/08/2025 to 25/08/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot LOT-0006: 6 - **Lot id:** `LOT-0006` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 79600000, 79611000, 98000000, 98110000 - **Estimated Value:** £2,128,600 - **Description:** Norwich - **Contract Period:** 25/08/2025 to 25/08/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (5) - **Award:** Connect to Work Lot 3 Broadland & South Norfolk (active) - Award id: `1` - Supplier(s): **Norfolk and Waveney MIND** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-136293` - Value: £1,215,100 - Date: 07/09/2025 - **Award:** Connect to Work Lot 4 King's Lynn & West Norfolk (active) - Award id: `2` - Supplier(s): **STANDGUIDE LIMITED** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-122626` - Value: £1,516,700 - Date: 07/09/2025 - **Award:** Connect to Work Lot 1 North Norfolk & Lot 6 Norwich (active) - Award id: `3` - Supplier(s): **The NR5 Project** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-COH:04358690` - Value: £2,734,700 - Date: 07/09/2025 - **Award:** Connect to Work Lot 2 Breckland (active) - Award id: `4` - Supplier(s): **SEETEC BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY CENTRE LIMITED** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-131380` - Value: £1,516,700 - Date: 07/09/2025 - **Award:** Connect to Work Lot 5 Great Yarmouth (active) - Award id: `5` - Supplier(s): **SHAW TRUST LIMITED(THE)** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-COH-01744121` - Value: £1,821,200 - Date: 07/09/2025 ## Contracts (5) - **Contract:** Lot 3 Broadland & South Norfolk (active) - Signed Value: £1,215,100 - Signed Date: 19/11/2025 - **Contract:** Lot 4 King's Lynn & West Norfolk (active) - Signed Value: £1,516,700 - Signed Date: 19/11/2025 - **Contract:** Lot 1 North Norfolk & Lot 6 Norwich (active) - Signed Value: £2,734,700 - Signed Date: 19/11/2025 - **Contract:** Lot 2 Breckland (active) - Signed Value: £1,516,700 - Signed Date: 19/11/2025 - **Contract:** Lot 5 Great Yarmouth (active) - Signed Value: £1,821,200 - Signed Date: 19/11/2025 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F034804-2025) - **Last Source Update:** 2025-12-04T08:20:04.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-16T14:30:13.674Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-052828
