Welcome and Introductions

DWP Work and Health Programme • Securing sustained job outcomes for participants will be the primary

objective • Referrals should be those most likely to need and benefit from extra help • Predominantly voluntary for the health and disability group • Work coaches have a key role to play in identifying the right people to go

on the programme • Want people to stay on the programme because they get value from it -

emphasis for providers to engage positively with all referred participants • Key elements of the provision to include:

• Greater integration with local services and health provision • Joint design/co-commissioning in areas with agreed devolution deals • Specialist providers have an important role to play in the programme.

Eligibility Any claimant with a health condition or disability: should be referred at the most appropriate time in their claim on a targeted basis, when: • The individual can be helped by the offer • JCP has already helped the individual with their core job search activity • The claimant needs more support than can be provided within the

standard JCP offer • The claimant has signed up to the goal of finding and/or increasing

their employment within a realistic time period Long term unemployed claimants: • Should be referred when they reach 24 months in the intensive work

search regime in Universal Credit • On a mandatory basis.

How will support be different to JCP? The provider is expected to: • Provide all participants, with more intensive, tailored support offer

than can be provided by JCP • Provide high quality support and experience, and utilise contacts

enabling providers to offer unique support to claimants • Have strong links to national and local employers to identify

employment needs, carve out roles and provide bespoke training to enable better skills matching to roles

Local Integration with skills and health • Providers will be expected to demonstrate how they will

link up with health and social care services and other local services in order to support employment outcomes:

• Providers will be expected to take an holistic approach to tackling barriers to employment by supporting claimants on the WHP.

• DWP is developing an approach on: • expectations on providers to integrate • how to commission in the commercial process

Payment model

• Simplify the relationship between performance and payments • Clearly demonstrate how outcome measures incentivise

providers to strive for the best outcomes for claimants • Dis-incentivise the parking of claimants • Incentivise claimants to enter work, stay in work and decrease

their reliance on the welfare system • Keep within the cost envelope • Ensure on-going survival of the provider market • Reduce potential for fraud • Reduce administrative burdens for providers and DWP.

Commercial Strategy

• To create and maintain a competitive and sustainable market

• One national procurement divided across CPAs • How suppliers support localism and service integration

will be key • The process will allow a level of dialogue with all

shortlisted suppliers • There will be a strong Payment By Results (PBR) theme • The process will require suppliers to display the right

behaviours i.e. suppliers who can deliver a local service.

submissions multiple times • Making the process more administratively attractive • Enable providers to gain a greater understanding of the
