TfL 95727 - TfL Steps into Work Programme: Supported Internship Provision Market Sounding Questionnaire

Tender description

MARKET SOUNDING QUESTIONNAIRE (MSQ) Transport for London's (TfL) employability programmes provide work readiness skills and opens doors to employment to some of the most disadvantaged groups in society. Individuals who fall into these groups have been disproportionately impacted by the current pandemic and now face even greater barriers to employment. The employability programmes are currently undergoing a redesign to better support those that most need it, through partnerships with charities, delivery partners and business stakeholders. Steps into Work is one of TfL's employability programmes. It consists of three rotational unpaid work placements across TfL, its partners (such as the Greater London Authority) or its supply chain. The current model for Steps into work also supports learners to achieve a BTEC Work Skills level 1 qualification. Steps into Work is open to individuals: • aged 16 and above • with a mild to moderate learning disability and/or those on the autism spectrum • with little-to-no work experience • who aspire to gain paid employment upon completion of the programme This Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) is issued by Transport for London (TfL). It seeks to obtain market feedback in relation to the design, delivery and management of supported internship provision for the Steps into Work programme. The primary focus of the MSQ is to better understand market/supplier appetite, capacity and capability, as well as perceived risks and opportunities Please send your responses via the Procontract portal: https://procontract.due-north.com by 12:00 Noon Monday 17th May 2021.
