In-work Support Service

Tender description

RCS are currently inviting tenders from therapy providers to join a Multi Supplier Framework to deliver therapy services across Denbighshire, Conwy, Gwynedd and Anglesey. The framework will be used solely by RCS in the delivery of the In-work support project which is funded through European Social Funding. The project delivered by RCS is profiled to see 2532 individuals over a 3 year period with a maximum overall contract value of £759,600. Once on the framework the suppliers will be used on an ‘as and when needed’ basis to deliver services to our clients. Case Coordinators will use their knowledge of suppliers’ specialisms, geographical considerations and the client to identify what they feel as the best ‘match’ options in identifying a suitable supplier. The client will be able to make an informed decision from the options they have been given. This process is described more particularly in the Framework Agreement, but providers should be aware that the choice of service users as to which provider to use will be weighted heavily given that this is such an important service to them.
