Work Well Partnerships (WWP) Wigan Locality

WWP is not a traditional employment support programme and is described as “an early-intervention work and health assessment service, with low-intensity holistic support for their health-related barriers to employment and a single, joined-up view and gateway into the services that are available locally to tackle their specific needs.”

This decision is;

1) For Wigan Council’s acceptance of the full possible grant allocation and terms for the delivery of the Work Well Partnership Programme in the Wigan Borough locality (as part of the Greater Manchester Vanguard) from Greater Manchester ICB. This amount it £743,084.


2) For Wigan Council to then use a proportion of the grant allocation to commission a local GM based specialist skills and employment provider to deliver the ‘health and employment’ support offer of the delivery model to local residents enrolled on the WWP programme. (The contract will be awarded via contract exemption on the basis that the money awarded via GMCA Grant has short timescales parameters to set up the service as a matter of urgency and will be done via the GMCA Flexible Procurement System)
