The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) invites interested organisations to an online market engagement session for the upcoming Connect to Work Programme.

Connect to Work is being delivered as part of new Mayoral powers to convene local supported employment provision, contributing to both the national “Get Britain Working” plan and the Local Growth Plan.

A core aim of the Government’s economic growth mission is to build an inclusive labour market, improve living standards, and ensure sustainable funding for public services. Connect to Work supports the Government's ambition to achieve an 80% employment rate, forming a key component of reforms to employment support - integrating skills, health, and pathways into sustained employment.

As the Lead Authority and Accountable Body for Cambridgeshire & Peterborough, CPCA will commission, implement, and manage the Connect to Work Programme. Delivery will align with local priorities and will be supported through partnerships with health services, employers, and wider system stakeholders to enhance regional awareness and collaboration.

This market engagement session will provide system partners with an update on the programme’s progress and give potential Prime Providers an overview of the planned approach ahead of the formal procurement process.

This session will offer:

- An update on the programme’s development and objectives.
- Insight for prospective Prime Providers and system partners ahead of the procurement launch.
- An opportunity to discuss delivery expectations and collaboration opportunities.

Agenda:

- Welcome and Introductions – CPCA representatives
- Programme Update – Status of Connect to Work and system development
- Specification Overview – Key delivery themes and requirements
- Procurement Process – Next steps and indicative timeline
- Q&A Session
