Step Up to Social Work Programme (Cohort 8) – Administration Solution

The Department for Education (DfE) requires a provider to deliver a fully managed service under one contract that performs administration of the assessment and recruitment support services to enable the national recruitment of candidates onto the Step Up to Social Work programme. The service requires dedicated administrative support during assessment centre period (including but not limited to support at in person assessment centre days where required). A more detailed description of the required service can be found in Section 1 of the attached Soft Market Testing document. DfE would like to gain a clear understanding of the level of interest from the market in the providing the service, as well as insight into how potential providers might approach the delivery of the service in question. We ask that interested suppliers complete the questions in Section 3 of the Soft Market Testing document and return their response by 12:00 3rd May 2022 via Jaggaer.
