The Ingeus Partner Network
Ingeus is seeking expressions of interest from organisations wanting to join the Ingeus Partner Network and become a preferred supplier for forthcoming tender opportunities.
Ingeus’ Partner Network formed a key part of our response to the tender opportunity for DWP’s Framework Agreements for the Provision of Employment Related Services. We have already selected a diverse range of over 350 organisations to be part of the Network through our first and second rounds of partner selection.
We assessed all initial Expressions of Interest using a set of fixed criteria, which included:
- Track record of performance with disadvantaged groups
- Commitment to providing high-quality services
- Geographical coverage and existing infrastructure
- Ability to add value and innovation
Ingeus has established the Partner Network in all 11 regional Lots. These are:
- London
- South East England
- South West England
- Wales
- East of England
- West Midlands
- East Midlands
- North West England
- Yorkshire & Humber
- North East England
- Scotland
Follow-up competitions
If you are selected to join the Partner Network you will be informed of all the upcoming opportunities we are tendering for. Through our ‘mini-competitions’ we will ask for details of your delivery proposal for a particular contract. If we are not able to source suitable partners from our existing supplier list, we may open up the competition to other potential partners.
Face-to-face meetings
If successful at the previous stage, we will arrange a meeting and, if appropriate, a visit to one of your delivery sites to discuss how we would work in partnership to deliver a particular contract. We will discuss the information outlined in your Expression of Interest Form and delivery proposal in more detail and clarify how your services could align with our delivery model.
Partnership Agreement Template
We will then discuss delivery and funding arrangements with you and seek to confirm a partnership agreement. We may ask partners at this stage for further information on their policies and procedures, skills and experience. All confirmed subcontractors will be issued with a formal agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the partnership, agreed performance expectations, prices and indicative client volumes.
