Opportunities Fife Partnership Commissioning Framework
Created: 06/06/2014The Opportunities Fife Partnership Commissioning Framework has been created following an independent review of the Fife Employability Pathway produced by the Training and Employment Research
Unit at Glasgow University in November 2014. It also builds on consultation with the Fife Employability Forum and OFP Delivery Group members.
The Commissioning Framework highlights the strategic priorities of the OFP for employment service provision in Fife and in particular will guide the allocation of European and Fairer Scotland
Funding for 2014 and beyond.
The document identifies 9 strategic areas for intervention. Commissioning for two of these priority groups, ex-offenders and people with health problems and disabilities will work to a slightly
different timescale which will be published in July following completion of two pieces of research into the needs of these client groups.
The Application Process:
The timeframes and process for applying for funding through the Commissioning Framework are still to be agreed. We will let you know as soon as we hear more.
Third sector organisations interested in applying are strongly advised to get in touch with the Fife Employability Consortium in the first instance. Please contact
