Notice Information

Notice Title

The Growth Company Expression of Interest: Home Office Refugee Employability Programme (REP)

Notice Description

The Growth Company is seeking key partners for our bids to The Refugee Employability Programme (REP), commissioned by the Home Office. Delivery is expected to commence in July 2023 and run for 2 years, with mobilisation from May 2023. We currently intend to bid for the North West and Yorkshire & Humber Lots. The overarching aim of the REP is to enhance the support already provided to refugees (from safe/legal routes) to help them integrate and become self-sufficient more quickly. It is focused on supporting refugees into sustainable employment, or self-employment, tailored to refugees' needs and skills. Case-worker-led, it comprises three pillars of support: Employability; Integration; English Language support. Understanding of refugees' needs and the regional context for support and employment opportunities is key, as is effective partnership working. REP should be accessed only by those who require extra support. Refugees should access mainstream services such as the DWP Job Centre Plus (JCP) Network and the DfE Adult Education Budget (AEB) as the primary offer of support. We are seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from experienced organisations for: * Lot 1: End to End REP delivery across a given geography, (ability to deliver face-to-face and virtually). This will include engagement and onboarding of service users, case worker delivery, employability and integration support, and may also include ESOL support. * Lot 2: English Language support (ESOL) * Lot 3: Interpreting and Translation Services * Lot 4: Other relevant support (see Lot 4 for details) To apply for the opportunity, please register on the Panacea portal with the link provided. The deadline to send your response is 12th December at 12 noon
