Opportunity overview

Connect to Work will be delivered using two of the most recognised quality standards for supported employment: Individual Placement Support (IPS) and Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF). The Fidelity Assurance requirement supplements the delivery of Connect to Work by supporting delivery partners in following the requirements of the IPS and SEQF supported employment models. Both models have Fidelity Scales. The Fidelity Assurance Supplier will be required to deliver the Fidelity Assurance services across England and Wales. DWP will fund delivery of the Fidelity Assurance requirement for IPS and SEQF through one contract. The Authority has considered whether the Fidelity Assurance services could reasonably be supplied under more than one contract by dividing the procurement into lots based on geographical area. The Authority has concluded that splitting the procurement into lots could make the requirement disproportionately expensive to manage and increase the technical risk to deliver the requirement. The Authority is awarding a public contract under section 19 of the Procurement Act 2023. The award of that public contract was through an open procedure in accordance with section 20(1) and (2)(a) of the PA 2023, The procurement for the award of that public contract was conducted in accordance with sections 20(1) and (2)(a) the Procurement Act 2023 as an open procedure for the award of a light touch contract. The redacted Fidelity Assurance contract and schedules can be accessed, free of charge, via the following link https://dwp2.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/QH00000FUqLV/a/dO0000009w81/PqEE3pdwSpioNJVlXeD9sDqAbGuZnrsbhpfK9ozw2J0

Published risks
Volume of Fidelity Assessments The Volume of Fidelity Assessments are driven by the number of Delivery Partners instructed by Accountable Bodies to carry out any part of Connect to Work on behalf of the Accountable Body in the Delivery Area. Until a Delivery Area commences delivery of Connect to Work it is not known how many Delivery Partners will be delivering Connect to Work in that Delivery Area. If the average number of Delivery Partners across all Delivery Areas exceeds the Should Cost Model assumptions of 10 per Delivery Area, there is a risk that the contract cannot be performed to the satisfaction of the Authority. The risk is assigned to the Fidelity Assurance Supplier. The contract addresses some of the potential impacts of such risks through the structure of the KPIs which provide the Fidelity Assurance Supplier at least 9 months' notice prior to the Fidelity Assessment being required and a 4 month window to carry out each Fidelity Assessment.
