Working Well: Individual Placement and Support in Primary Care Evaluation Partner
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has successfully completed the procurement process for the project titled "Working Well: Individual Placement and Support in Primary Care Evaluation Partner." This falls within the services sector, specifically targeting research and development, health, social work, and community services. The contract, awarded on 11 September 2025, will be active until 31 October 2027 and involves a partnership with SQW Limited.
The procurement was executed through a direct and below-threshold method, bypassing open competition, and supports initiatives within the Greater Manchester region. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in comprehensive programme evaluation, especially those capable of executing mixed-method evaluations in public health and social services. SMEs with expertise in analysing and improving employment support services for people with health conditions may find similar future opportunities.
The current tender exemplifies demand for detailed, outcome-based evaluation services to enhance programme delivery and outcomes, making it an ideal match for consultancies specialising in social policy and public sector consulting.
The Working Well: Individual Placement and Support in Primary Care service is a supported employment offer for people with health conditions and disabilities. Due to the extension of the IPSPC service, the GMCA has awarded the incumbent programme evaluation partner (SQW Ltd) a below threshold contract in order to complete an end-to-end longitudinal evaluation of the programme. A robust evaluation is required to inform future service offers across GM.
Through a mixed methods approach, the aim of this evaluation is to generate learning from the programme, testing, monitoring and evaluating the successes and shortfalls of the programme's design and delivery, offering solutions where possible. The evaluation will provide an in-depth analysis of participant needs and how these needs have been met through interventions within the service's directly delivered offer and through interventions supplied by wider integrated support services. The evaluation should understand participants' barriers to work, their intermediate improvement and the quality of outcomes they achieve.
