The North Manchester Over 50’s into Employment Pilot is a test and learn project to deliver a bespoke service to support over 50’s residents who have been long term unemployed to enable them to move closer to the labour market or into employment.
The geographical focus is North Manchester with a specific focus on Miles Platting/Newton Heath Ward.
Manchester City Council’s Work and Skills team wishes to commission a pilot project to support out of work residents aged 50+. The team are seeking a provider to recruit, engage and support residents from the North Manchester area to move closer to or in to employment. The project should be an engagement service, which offers tailored support to individuals but is connected in to a wider offer and can refer people into existing provision.
The provider will offer a service that engages and supports individuals, signposting and referring to specific specialist support.
Providers need to demonstrate how their offer does not duplicate any current initiatives i.e. Work and Health Programme, Motiv8, ESF and Be Well.
The Project is due to commence in October 2019 and will be delivered over a 12 month period.
The value of the contract is £50,000, which should only be spent on costs specifically associated with the project.
To discuss the pilot prior to submitting an application, contact Indra Power on 0161 234 4445, or email: [email protected]
Deadline: 7 October 2019, 10:00
