Details
This Employment Provision Commissioning Strategy sets out how the DWP Employment Category will enable delivery of DWP priorities and strategy for 2030 through innovative and digitally enabled delivery of a transparent pipeline of commercial activity. This involves:
- helping people to move into work, and supporting those already in work to progress, with the aim of increasing overall workforce participation
- helping people to plan and save for later life, while providing a safety net for those who need it now
- delivering effective, efficient, and innovative services to the millions of customers who rely on us every day, including the most vulnerable in society, improving their experience of our services while maximising value for money for the taxpayer
It replaces the DWP Employment Provision Commissioning Strategy 2024.
