What is being bought
Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership are seeking a dynamic organisation(s), or partnership of organisations, to deliver Employability Services across the city.
It is expected that flexible, culturally appropriate approaches will be used and that suppliers will demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of inequalities in Glasgow City. This should include barriers for people who experience multiple vulnerabilities, particularly people with mental health conditions and people with a history of problematic alcohol and drug misuse.
The successful supplier(s) will work collaboratively with existing partnerships and, where appropriate, form new partnerships with a range of voluntary and statutory organisations.
The aim of the service is to:
-Promote and support recovery and increase access to employability opportunities for people aged 16 and over who have long term mental health conditions and people aged 18 and over who are in recovery from problematic alcohol and/or drug misuse.
-To increase the number of individuals to move into employment and increase access to employment opportunities.
-To provide access to local community services through collaborative working with a range of voluntary and statutory organisations.
