Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council Economy Work & Skills Service is seeking to procure a lead provider to deliver a programme of activity which supports economically inactive Stockport residents who are furthest away from the labour market, with complex needs (including those who are not engaged with mainstream provision and those accessing work and skills triage support via our Work & Skills Navigators) to address barriers and achieve positive onward destinations
The design of the delivery is based around a set of 'Key Principles' and a 'Menu of Interventions' and activity should reach out to and attract residents from some of Stockport's communities who are not currently accessing the support they need to overcome barriers, helping them to them make positive progressions towards their goals and aspirations.
Advancing equality of opportunity in the labour market, and reducing social isolation are key drivers for this programme and participants should be given the opportunity to access person-centred, one-to-one support via a Key Worker model, to enable them to participate in activities which have a positive impact on their life, address personal challenges and needs, and improve their life chances.
The delivery model should offer a varied menu of engaging interventions which will address the most significant or pressing barriers that a participant is facing and help them on their pathway into employment (where this is right for the individual), education/training or further ongoing support.
Ongoing community engagement and integration is a crucial aspect of this programme, as well as collaboration and partnership working with Stockport Council and other key local stakeholders, in order to support residents needs and ambitions.

Local data highlights both the scale of the demand and the complexity of need, with a significant proportion of individuals experiencing challenges related to financial resilience, substance use, offending histories, and previous rough sleeping. These overlapping needs increase the likelihood of housing instability and repeat homelessness, placing ongoing pressure on statutory and support services.
This evidence reinforces the requirement for a commissioned response that moves beyond a crisis and accommodation-focused response, towards one that delivers integrated interventions. The Prevention Service must be designed to respond holistically, addressing not only immediate housing risk but also the underlying factors that impact an individual's ability to sustain accommodation and achieve longer-term stability.
The primary purpose of this service is to prevent first-time homelessness, repeat homelessness and rough sleeping through early identification, proactive engagement and tenancy sustainment. The service will be responsive, but prevention focused and should aim to intervene at the earliest possible stage before an individual becomes threatened with homelessness. The Provider will develop sustainable plans to prevent homelessness or rough sleeping by providing structured engagement plans, immediate crisis intervention, specialist prevention support and outreach engagement to individuals who are harder to reach to prevent escalation into statutory homelessness.
