What is being bought

Future Employment Support will be a major new national programme. It will be designed to support unemployed Universal Credit claimants into sustained employment through personalised support, stronger employer engagement, local integration, and specialist provision. It will respond to individual needs and regional labour market priorities. Seetec are taking an inclusive two-stage approach to building strong local partnerships. We are inviting organisations to complete stage one of a two stage process. This first stage is a light-touch Expression of interest (EOI), designed to help us to understand your organisation, your local presence, your specialist capability and your interest in working with us. The second stage will be a more detailed Request for Information (RFI) for shortlisted organisations, which will be weighted and scored to support partner selection, supply chain design and future co-design activity. At Seetec, we recognise the time and resource commitment that partner engagement processes can place on organisations, particularly SMEs, VCSEs, and specialist providers. We have therefore separated this process into two stages so that all interested organisations can express interest without needing to complete a full scored submission at the outset. We are inviting organisations of all sizes to register their interest in partnering with Seetec. We are particularly interested in organisations with strong local connections, specialist expertise, trusted stakeholder relationships and innovative approaches to supporting people into work. This initial EOI is intentionally light-touch and has been designed to understand your organisation, your local presence, and specialist expertise. Whether you are an SME, VCSE, charity, social enterprise, specialist provider, or larger delivery organisation, we want to hear from you. If you share our ambition to deliver locally integrated, high-quality support, we look forward to learning more about your organisation.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Job search services (79611000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 795,0503 median · 32.5 average (1,528 of 5,050 with a bid count)2.9 average (1,713 of 5,050 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer0Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UKC2891 median · 12.6 average (93 of 289 with a bid count)2.8 average (102 of 289 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

    "description": "Future Employment Support will be a major new national programme. It will be designed to support unemployed Universal Credit claimants into sustained employment through personalised support, stronger employer engagement, local integration, and specialist provision. It will respond to individual needs and regional labour market priorities.\nSeetec are taking an inclusive two-stage approach to building strong local partnerships. \nWe are inviting organisations to complete stage one in a two stage process. This first stage is a light-touch Expression of interest (EOI), designed to help us to understand your organisation, your local presence, your specialist capability and your interest in working with us. \nThe second stage will be a more detailed Request for Information (RFI) for shortlisted organisations, which will be weighted and scored to support partner selection, supply chain design and future co-design activity. At Seetec, we recognise the time and resource commitment that partner engagement processes can place on organisations, particularly SMEs, VCSEs, and specialist providers. We have therefore separated this process into two stages so that all interested organisations can express interest without needing to complete a full scored submission at the outset. \nWe are inviting organisations of all sizes to register their interest in partnering with Seetec. We are particularly interested in organisations with strong local connections, specialist expertise, trusted stakeholder relationships and innovative approaches to supporting people into work.\nThis initial EOI is intentionally light-touch and has been designed to understand your organisation, your local presence, and specialist expertise.\nWhether you are an SME, VCSE, charity, social enterprise, specialist provider, or larger delivery organisation, we want to hear from you. \nIf you share our ambition to deliver locally integrated, high-quality support, we look forward to learning more about your organisation.\nPlease complete our EOI here:\nhttps://forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=c2N7y57PGkCegWGpBbQ6ZmiYKMiLN-5Dk2-aKNgiT99UMkxaTVFCSDZEMktJUkZIV1lZWUxXOVlLNC4u&route=shorturl\nEOI Submission deadline: 6pm on 7th September",
