At peak delivery this will be approximately 1,000 participants per annum across all 6 local authority areas of the city region. It is anticipated that one provider will be able to fulfil this need in terms of volumes and geographical coverage, but this will not be fully understood until the conclusion of the procurement process. Please note we don't have our cost centre set up yet with budget codes, it is in the process of being set up and we have a meeting with finance this week to discuss. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKD - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £11,492,900 - **Contract Period:** 19/07/2026 to 19/07/2029 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** LCRCA - Delivery Partner - Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF) - Connect to Work (active) - Award id: `1` - Supplier(s): **The BUSY Group** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-PPON:PNQZ-2668-XLBX` - Value: £11,492,900 (exc.
