Notice Title

Reintegration Support Services

Notice Description

The Authority is seeking to work with commercial partner(s) to provide reintegration services for people returning from the UK to their countries of origin. The Authority aims to support a range of returnees (voluntary or enforced) from across the immigration system, potentially including Foreign National Offenders (FNOs). Initially, the countries in scope for this service are: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Bangladesh, China, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Iraq, Iran, Jamaica, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sudan, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, Vietnam and Zimbabwe. The Authority is exploring the method in which this service may be delivered. The current intention (which is not guaranteed) is for this service to be disaggregated, with separate contracts for each lot, possibly split by geographical area. Please see an indicative example below: Africa: Eritrea, Ethiopia, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Ghana Middle East: Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran Europe: Ukraine, Albania & Turkey Caribbean: Jamaica Asia: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, China The Authority is exploring the type and method in which support will be delivered to returnees, but the service provider may be expected to provide: 1. Remote provision of information pre-departure from the UK; 2. Assistance on arrival, that could include: * Airport pick-up; * Arrival assistance and immediate necessities; * Onward travel assistance in-country; * Emergency/ short-term housing; * Immediate medical support. 3. Cash support and reintegration counselling, that could include: * Periodic face-to-face reintegration counselling combined with cash distribution - at least three times over a six-month period; * Availability by phone to provide information/ assistance on ad-hoc basis; including; advice on accessing schooling or further education; advice on accessing vocational training; advice on finding employment; family tracing; legal support. 4. Reintegration Assistance * Coaching; * Co-designing a reintegration plan with the returnee that may include using available funds to: - Set up an individual or collective small business with other returnees/ integrating the returnee into an existing or new community income generating activity; - Paid academic or vocational training; - An apprenticeship; - Contribute to living costs while pursuing any of the above options. There is also an ambition to use the service for a small number of selected voluntary returnees, within Albania and India, that also support the wider community. This is something that the Authority would like to explore with the market. In other developing countries worldwide, the Authority is considering the possibility of providing: 1. Verification of the arrival of the returnee (face to face or remotely) to trigger cash disbursement 2. Further telephone only provision of information/assistance on ad-hoc basis Additional information: The contract falls under Regulation 74 of and Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
