Summary of the contracting process
Norfolk County Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for their "connect to work programme," a service aimed at supporting economically inactive individuals from priority groups in finding and retaining employment. This initiative falls under the health and social work services industry category and is set to take place in Norwich, United Kingdom.

This planned project is underpinned by legal standards set by the UK Public General Acts of 2023, classified as a planned notice under the procurement process.
The notice in full
The programme will primarily provide support for people who are economically inactive within priority groups and want to work. It will also provide support to some people to retain work who are at risk of losing employment (and if they lose their job would be unlikely to move back into work without support). Individuals participating in CtW do so on a voluntary basis.
