Overview and Service Description:

Seetec specialise in providing first-class services within the skills and education, employability and health, criminal justice and social care sectors across the UK.

It is important to all parts of the Seetec Group that our Partners operate in ways which support our purpose, vision, mission and values. More information can be found on our website.

We're committed to providing opportunities and support to people from all walks of life and empowering them to shape their own futures. We provide tailored support to help participants progress in their journey, to deal with their barriers and get into sustainable employment.

Collaboration is at the very heart of our ethos, and as an existing provider delivering Employability Services, Supported Employment, Individual Placement Support Services, and specialised localised services we are looking for like-minded organisations to join us as a delivery partner for the upcoming Connect to Work opportunities.

So, if you share our values and have expertise in providing IPS services, Supported Employment Services, Employability Services or specialised local services for specified cohorts, we'd love to hear from you. By coming together, we will ensure that no-one is left behind!

Additional information: EOI Scoring:

Our EOIs are scored fairly and transparently.

Organisational details are unscored, and used for reference only.

Yes/no questions such as "is your organisation interested in end to end delivery?" are unscored and used for reference only.

Some "yes/no" questions may be scored.

Qualitative questions are generally scored out of 5, as per the below:

5: Response meets requirements in all material respects and is extremely likely to deliver the required outcome. 4: Response meets the requirement in most material requests but is lacking or inconsistent in some minor respects. 3: Response meets requirements in certain material respects and provides certain information which is relevant but is lacking / inconsistent in material respects. 2: Response falls short of achieving the expected standard in a number of identifiable respects. 1: Response significantly fails to meet standards required.
