Notice Description
UK Visas and Immigration plan to procure a consolidated service that: * provides advice to asylum seekers, * provides asylum seekers with the ability to report issues; and * provides assistance to asylum seekers to complete an application form to confirm their eligibility for support.

The OJEU Contract Notice is expected to be published in the Spring/Early Summer of 2018. In the meantime, please e-mail your interest in the project with your contact details and any queries to the project team to AIREprocurement@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk.

Additional information: The Asylum Accommodation and Support Transformation (AAST) project has been established to design, develop and procure the future model for asylum accommodation and support, replacing the existing arrangements when they expire. It is the AAST team's aim to implement a model which creates an efficient and high quality overall asylum accommodation and support system which works for all parties, utilising lessons learnt and previous methods of service provision and stakeholder views to influence design. The project is aiming to start procurement of the AIRE services in the spring of 2018 with contract award by the Spring of 2019. This will allow for a 6 months transition period with services fully operational by October 2019. The estimated annual value of the contract will be PS10-20 million.
