<p>The Intensive Personalised Employment Support (IPES) programme is due to end on
21 September 2025. The forecasted spending for the 2024/2025 tax year and the beginning
of the 2025/2026 tax year until the programme ends is shown in the table below.</p><p>
</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>FORECAST 2024/2025</strong> <strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>FORECAST
2025/2026 </strong> <strong>(up to 21 Sept 2025)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>£4.0m</p></td><td><p>£0.5m</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p> </p><p>We do not produce a formal forecast of the number of participants for
the IPES programme per year. The last intake of participants to the programme was
December 2023. As of 29 February 2024, the total number of participants was 3,820.
This number will decline as participants complete the programme, until September 2025
when the programme is due to end.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Please Note</strong></p><p>
</p><ul><li>The figures in the table have been rounded to the nearest million.</li><li>The
data recorded in the IPES dataset does not meet the standards required to be included
in the Official Statistics. <strong>Please treat the total number of participant value
as a guide figure rather than an actual figure.</strong></li></ul>
