Summary of the contracting process

Rossendale Borough Council procured a refugee, asylum seeker and resettler support and signposting service in Rossendale. The service covers weekly drop-in sessions at two locations, individual casework, referrals, integration support and general signposting. It also includes access to monthly immigration advice delivered by an appropriately accredited adviser. This is a social support service, classified under CPV 85311000, with a focus on helping people affected by forced migration access advice, practical support and local services. The requirement is suitable for organisations delivering community, refugee, asylum or resettlement support, including voluntary, community and social enterprise providers. The council is the buyer and the service is delivered within the Rossendale area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a single-stage open competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. Two bids were received. Rossendale Refugee Support Group was awarded the contract on 17 July 2026 for £119,889 excluding VAT, or £143,866.80 including VAT. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027, with one discretionary extension of up to 12 months, giving a maximum end date of 31 July 2028. Evaluation weighted quality and technical merit at 55%, price at 30%, social value at 10%, and finance, legal and procurement compliance at 5%. The tender was above threshold and used one lot.

This award indicates demand for an integrated refugee and resettlement support provider able to combine accessible community-based sessions with structured casework, referrals, integration activity and signposting. A credible future competitor would need experience delivering similar services, understanding of the needs of refugees, asylum seekers and resettlers, and the ability to work effectively with the council, referral partners and other local organisations. Strong safeguarding, data protection, governance, financial management and legal compliance arrangements would be important, alongside suitably qualified staff and access to an appropriately accredited immigration adviser. Providers should also be able to demonstrate reliable performance management, responsive referral handling, user feedback processes and meaningful local social value. The requirement is relevant to specialist charities, community organisations and experienced social care or support providers.
