Notice Title

Refugee Resettlement and Integration Support Services

Notice Description

Essex County Council is seeking a delivery partner to provide resettlement and future integration support to refugee beneficiaries and facilitate the delivery of specific and specialist services as required. The provider should be able to provide both accommodation and caseworker support across the Essex programme stages under HM Government's refugee resettlement schemes, for the remaining years of current schemes and any future resettlement policies implemented by HM Government.
