MAXIMUS Selected for the Employment and Health-Related Services Framework in the United Kingdom

Business Wire
MAXIMUS (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services
worldwide, announced today that its Remploy subsidiary was awarded
a spot in Region Six (Wales) on the Umbrella Agreement for the
provision of Employment and Health Related Services (UAEHRS). The
UAEHRS is a framework that is expected to be used by the U.K.
Government for the provision of certain employment and health
services, including some contracts for the new Work and Health
Programme.
As part of the organizations selected for the framework, Remploy
may now bid as a prime contractor for contracts that are procured
through the UAEHRS framework in Wales, where the business has a
long-standing and successful presence under such programs as Work
Choice. Remploy is a leading provider of specialist employment
services for people with disabilities and health conditions in the
U.K. Since 2010, Remploy has found more than 100,000 jobs in
mainstream employment for people with a range of physical, sensory
and learning disabilities, mental health conditions and other
disadvantages.
Richard A. Montoni, Chief Executive Officer for MAXIMUS,
commented, “We are pleased to secure a spot on the highly
competitive UAEHRS framework. While we had hoped to secure a
greater number of regions on the framework, there will be companion
opportunities that are available to MAXIMUS. This includes
subcontracting partnerships that we are already working on. More
importantly, the U.K. Government continues to devolve
responsibility down to the local authorities and we currently
anticipate that some of the Work and Health contracts will be
directly procured by certain local authorities outside of the
framework. With several contract awards already in place for fiscal
year 2017 and a healthy pipeline of opportunities, our U.K. human
services business remains well-positioned over the long term.”
