SECTION II: OBJECT OF THE CONTRACT

II.1.1) Title attributed to the contract by the contracting authority:
Cultural Diversity Support Package - Sheffield Employability Programme.
II.1.2) Type of contract and location of works, place of delivery or of
performance: Services.
Service category: No 24.
Main place of performance: Sheffield.
NUTS code: UK.
II.1.3) The notice involves: A public contract.
II.1.5) Short description of the contract or purchase(s): The Sheffield
Employability Programme was conceived in response to the lack of capacity
in organisations locally to support employers to recruit and retain new
entrants to the labour market. Employers tell us that they find it hard to
access the relevant employment support that is available. The programme
has been designed to help employers to navigate and access mainstream
funded services. The long term impact will be to reduce the churn of
people who fall out of employment and return to benefits.
The Cultural Diversity Support Package is intended to enable employers to
maximize the potential of their workforce and address discrimination
issues including age, faith and belief, gender, sexuality and race.
