Please re-register for this event via the link below* The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) is an arm's-length body, sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions, with a joint commitment to ensure information, guidance and advice is provided to members of the public in the clearest and most cost-effective way. This Notice is notification that, following a consultation phase, MaPS is now moving into the early stages of market engagement for the commissioning of its community-based debt advice services. MaPS invites the sector to engage and seeks early input to develop the requirements. This is a first step to engaging widely over the coming months. Following the first event on 12th December, we have decided to add a fourth event to ensure sufficient time is given to this phase of the engagement. In the first event we covered the following elements: The Competitive Process, Geography & Lotting, Length of Agreement, Budget & Should Cost Modelling. The following elements will be covered across the next three events: Target Clients, Delivery Channels, Payment approach, Performance Monitoring, Data and Reporting requirements, Value for Money, Workforce Wellbeing, Social Value, Accessibility, Service Transition, Quality Assurance and Training. The virtual engagement events will be held via MS Teams Webinars on the following dates.
