The provision aims to assist pre and post Work Programme Lone Parent claimants who are in receipt of welfare to work benefits \[Income Support (IS), Jobseekers Allowance (JSA) or Employment & Support Allowance (ESA)\] to progress into sustainable employment through a bespoke programme of support. This will be achieved by: • challenging the myth some lone parents may have around possible financial loss when taking up employment; • increasing claimants’ confidence and motivational levels and raising self esteem; • increasing employability skills and identifying transferable skills; • ensuring claimants understand about follow-on support and childcare arrangements. ## CPV classification Education and training services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice ](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/4fa95a1f-adc8-11e6-9901-0019b9f3037b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
