What the notice says

Connect to Work is a voluntary employment program launched by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). It aims to help individuals who are economically inactive, unemployed, or at risk of losing their jobs due to disabilities or long-term health conditions. The program provides targeted support to eligible participants, assisting them in finding and maintaining employment. Tees Valley Combined Authority is the Accountable Body (AB) for Connect to Work and will host a pre-market engagement event with key partners, stakeholders and interested parties prior to official procurement activities to support shaping our approach to commissioning the program. Update: TVCA Cabinet 26th September 2025 approved a mixed model of delivery for the Tees Valley Connect to Work programme. This Model will see the programme led by Hartlepool Borough Council in partnership with the Tees Valley Local Authorities. Hartlepool Borough Council will undertake further market engagement late Autumn that will engage further delivery partners to deliver specialist services across the region.
