Brief Description of Requirement At Acas, our purpose is clear\. We exist to make working life better for everyone by promoting healthy working relationships and addressing disputes and conflict in the workplace with a specific focus on reducing the cost of conflict in the workplace\. The Acas conciliation service we provide is vital in achieving our purpose\. Acas promotes the early resolution of claims to the Employment Tribunal \(ET\) in order to avoid a dispute escalating to a full hearing, by means of its conciliation service\. Acas Individual Conciliation incorporates both Early Conciliation \(EC\) \(which happens before formal notification to the Employment Tribunal is made by the claimant on an ET1 form\) and Post-ET1 conciliation, which happens after the ET1 form has been submitted \(more detail on this is given in the next section\)\. 'Individual' is used to distinguish the service from Collective Conciliation, Acas's longstanding service for resolving collective employment disputes\. ## Related contract awards - [Accessibility Testing Services - Scotland Public Sector Heat Decarbonisation Fund \(SPSHDF\) Phase 3](/contracts/ocds-b5fd17-fe2271d2-429f-4f8c-a77b-0dfa6657a4d6) — UK SBS - [PS25234 - Space Clusters Infrastructure Fund \(SCIF\) Monitoring & Evaluation Partner \(UKSAC25\_0083\)](/contracts/ocds-b5fd17-f62ae095-cf26-4211-9b42-7684549c7177) — UK SBS - [PS25275 - Radar Feasibility Study \(Southern Hemisphere Radar for UK SST/SDA\) UKSAC25\_0096](/contracts/ocds-b5fd17-f57a8231-875b-4dc3-b955-19c2827366aa) — UK SBS - [PS26175 - Evaluation of DSIT Carbon Offsetting Consultancy](/contracts/ocds-b5fd17-e3527f40-9727-4c75-8f90-912bbd39b39d) — UK SBS - [DHSC: Comms: Lot-2-Qualitative Research: Strategic Communications and Policy Development](/contracts/ocds-b5fd17-203b17ae-f5e0-4e9a-b316-16bba2f8a571) — DHSC - [NICE Listens public dialogue](/contracts/ocds-b5fd17-30da793d-beaa-4a18-846a-479f990d44b6) — National Institute for Health and Care Excellence - [Research: Social Science Call-Off](/contracts/ocds-b5fd17-8fe02680-ad21-49af-9305-ba71b7c1e93f) — Food Standards Agency - [Post Office Consultation Analysis & Citizen Engagement](/contracts/ocds-b5fd17-adb102b9-726e-48fa-b4a2-42b8bdb7c7aa) — Department for Business and Trade - [Translation & Interpreting Service](/contracts/ocds-b5fd17-54075a52-9d7d-4c1f-b548-9dc63dcc95cb) — London Borough of Waltham Forest - [QBE082 09:00 2026-08-21 Haverhill to Sir Peter Hall School, Bury St Edmunds - 4-seater vehicle required - AWARD](/contracts/ocds-b5fd17-3fe11212-9db7-4019-8387-e0a616618a82) — Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport - [QOC931 09:00 2026-08-21 Onehouse & Newmarket to InToto Education, Fordham, Ely, Cambs - 4-seater vehicle & Passenger Assistant required - AWARD](/contracts/ocds-b5fd17-88df1231-5adf-4f73-b42b-71e8931d53ab) — Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport - [SEN20061-SEN-W/C TAXI-DOROTHY GOODMAN UPPER BARWELL LANE](/contracts/ocds-b5fd17-759dbe2b-b549-4a79-9512-eb9eafef5895) — Leicestershire County Council ## Source [View the original notice on Contracts Finder](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/393dd876-60ed-458c-9ed7-728ce87dda9b-777213)
