Meeting to discuss tendering process for Disability Employment Network Providers
The tender for the delivery of Disability Employment Networks (DENs) will be released some time soon. It is expected that the tender specification will be brief and have a short turnaround time. Any DENs with less than three stars will not receive an Invitation to Treat and will need to tender to retain their existing business. Concern has been raised that the tendering process could potentially mean staff job losses and threaten organisations’ viability. Most importantly, this would lead to a disruption of the support and services provided to job seekers with a mental illness.
VICSERV wishes to hear from any PDRSS DEN providers who would like to get together to discuss the challenges around tendering and to identify any strategic responses that might be undertaken.
Please advise Wendy Smith, Policy and Research Manager, of your interest as soon as possible.
