Lot Information
Women Only Refugee English Language Teaching and Cultural Integration Support
The service entails the provision of Women Only English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) assessment and classes, and cultural integration activities (e.g. discussion groups on aspects of UK culture, visits to important historic and cultural venues, opportunities to meet and mix with longer-standing communities) that support vulnerable men, women and children and assist them to integrate into local communities. There have been cultural benefits from involving specialist third sector providers (e.g. more community-based approaches, access to large and culturally diverse volunteer groups) which the Council is keen to ensure service users continue to benefit from. The intention of this procurement project is to place a Contract involving specialist third sector providers for the continuing provision of cultural integration activities and language tuition for the next two years with the option to extend for a further two 12 month periods (2+1+1).
