UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Leeds City Council, concerns a contract titled "Hong Kong BN(O): Bi-lingual Immigration Support Service." This project falls under the services industry, specifically aiming to provide a specialist bilingual immigration support service in regions across the United Kingdom, including Yorkshire and Humber. The procurement process was directly awarded and is classified under a special regime of concession with no competitive bidding, as it was conducted below the threshold. The contract has been awarded and is currently active, having started on 1st August 2025 and set to conclude on 31st March 2026. It deals with translation services to assist migrants from Hong Kong under the British National (Overseas) visa route, and the total gross contract value is £14,366 GBP.

This tender offers ample opportunity for businesses specialising in translation and immigration services, particularly those with expertise in Cantonese and Traditional Chinese, to showcase their strengths and expand their market presence. The awarded supplier, Kirklees Citizens Advice and Law Centre, is an SME and recognised as a social enterprise, hinting that similar organisations focused on community impact and possessing niche language skills might be well-suited for such opportunities. This project is a key opportunity for businesses that emphasise social responsibility and are capable of delivering specialised support to an underserved migrant community within the designated UK regions.
