Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council has completed the procurement for the Afghan Resettlement Programme (ARP) under the title "P0915/009 - Afghan Resettlement Programme (ARP) - Wrap-around service Lot 5 - AWARD". This tender falls within the industry category of health and social work services, specifically social work and related services. The procurement process is at the 'Award' stage, having been finalised on 14th January 2026. The selected procurement method was a selective process through the Council's Integration Support Services for Sanctuary Seekers Framework Agreement. The contract will commence on 5th January 2026 and conclude on 4th January 2031, with services encompassing multiple regions including the British Overseas Territories and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for growth for organisations specialising in providing trauma-informed, person-centred, and holistic support services for sanctuary seekers. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may not directly benefit due to suitability criteria, businesses such as large social work service providers could find valuable engagement. With a contract value of £1,698,318, awarded to The Refugee Migrant Centre Ltd, the programme promises stable long-term involvement and benefits for service providers capable of meeting the demands of large-scale, face-to-face, family-based support services.
