Notice Title

CPU2087 - Orientation and Induction Programme for Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC)

Notice Description

Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC) arrive into Oxfordshire via many routes including planned arrivals through the NTS or spontaneous arrivals travelling through clandestine means. Spontaneous arrivals are generally identified through the police or 'walk-ins' at council offices. Oxfordshire has a strong history of responding to the needs of UASC and currently has a small dedicated countywide UASC team to meet the needs of these children upon arrival. This team works alongside experienced partner agencies who deliver support services to help them to integrate within the community. OCC is currently being funded by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) Controlling Migration Fund (CMF) to undertake activities related to meeting the needs of a growing UASC population. The Orientation and Induction Programme (OP) will enable UASC aged 13-17 years old to gain immediate access into a learning pathway which inducts them into life in Oxfordshire and more broadly the UK. The OP will provide access to a four- week rolling orientation and induction programme, consisting of both a taught and experiential curriculum. This will be delivered in a classroom environment and out in the community. The OP will offer a minimum of 25 hours a week over 4 days and there will generally be a morning and afternoon session every day which runs between 10am-3pm. The Provider will work in partnership with OCC's virtual school for LAC and care leavers to prepare the UASC for onward transition into school or college. The contract duration will be for 3 years with an anticipated start of 1st October 2019. Tenders are invited from organisations who can meet the specification and have experience of delivering similar services. There is a fixed budget of PS33,000 per annum for this service and there will not be a separate price/cost evaluation.
