Summary of the contracting process

The Reading Borough Council has completed the award process for the "Syrian Resettlement Programme 2017-2022," which aims to provide essential case work, support, and integration assistance for Syrian refugees during their first year in Reading. This tender, classified under welfare services not delivered through residential institutions, involved an open procurement method with a total contract value of £160,000, commencing from 1 December 2017 and concluding on 30 November 2022. Notably, the contract was awarded on 17 October 2017 following the deadline for tenders which was on 7 September 2017.

This contract presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in humanitarian services, particularly those that cater to the integration and support of refugees. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) would find this sector particularly suitable for participation, given the focus on welfare services. Businesses equipped to deliver housing, medical, education, and care support services could play a vital role in enhancing the lives of vulnerable individuals arriving from Syria, thereby contributing to their successful integration in the UK.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Syrian Resettlement Programme 2017-2022 - AWARD

Notice Description

The specification document sets out the requirements to be provided to deliver the front line case work, support and integration of Syrian refugees, who are SVPs of the Government's Syrian Vulnerable Person's Resettlement (SVPR) programme, during their first 12 months of arrival in Reading. The Government's expectation is that the SVPs should be fully integrated into life in the UK by the end of the 12 months. Reading Borough Council has committed to take three families per year over five years (2016-2021) through the Government's Syrian Vulnerable Person's Resettlement (SVPR) programme. These refugees are granted 5 year 'humanitarian leave' to stay in the UK, access to public funds, access to the labour market and the possibility of a family reunion. The Syrian Vulnerable Person's Resettlement (SVPR) programme provides specified funding to local areas for the refugees' housing, medical, education, care and integration support costs.
