Summary of the contracting process

Brighton and Hove City Council (the Council) has awarded a contract under the title "BHCC EB Refugee Resettlement Casework Support" to provide comprehensive casework support within the welfare services category. The procurement, conducted via a restricted procedure, was initiated by BHCC Communities Equalities and Third Sector. This contract, valued at £3,084,000 GBP, aims to support the UK's Refugee Resettlement Scheme, Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme, and the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy. Services will commence on 1st October 2024 and continue until 30th September 2029. The awarded supplier, Voices in Exile, will provide support in locations including the South East region of the UK, specifically Brighton (postal code BN1 1JE). The procurement process is now complete, with the final stage culminating in the award announcement on 9th August 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in welfare services, particularly those with capabilities in casework, language (ESOL), and employment support for resettled refugees. Companies with the capacity to scale operations swiftly in response to fluctuating demands will find this contract immensely beneficial. The requirement for a dynamic approach to adapting to global events and government funding changes presents a lucrative prospect for suppliers experienced in handling complex caseloads and offering holistic support services. Although this specific procurement is not open to SMEs or VCSEs, larger firms with robust support systems for displaced individuals will be well-suited to compete.
