Connect to Work - Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF) Delivery

London Borough of Bromley has secured funding to deliver the DWP Connect to Work contract. Over a period of 4 years from 1 April 2026 - 31 March 2030 we will support a total of 818 residents using the Individual Placement Support (IPS) and Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF) delivery models.

Of these residents there will be a 75:25 split, with 25% (205 PTPs) being supported under the Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF). We are currently establishing whether there is a market for the delivery of the SEQF element of the programme.

Requirements for delivery are as follows: I. Organisations should have a demonstratable track record and infrastructure in place for achieving outcomes in a supported employment service, preferably operating and SEQF model.

Demonstrate staffing levels and processes to deliver employment services against the SEQF fidelity scale ensuring that a minimum score of 74 or "Fair" is achieved and maintained throughout the entirety of the delivery period. III.
