Remploy, which provides specialist employment services for people with disabilities and health conditions, has won a two-year contract to deliver part of the government’s new Specialist Employability Support (SES) programme.
The programme is designed to ensure 1,700 disabled people across England, Scotland and Wales receive work-related support. About 1,250 people with disabilities are expected to move into work over the course of the contract.
The contract award comes shortly after Remploy announced it would leave government ownership with the creation of a joint venture between Remploy employees and Maximus.
The Financial Times reported on 12 March that Remploy had been sold to New York-listed Maximus by the Department for Work and Pensions. Maximus was to take a 70% stake while Remploy employees would take the remaining 30%.
