The work is intended to help people rebuild their lives, improve wellbeing, increase independence and integrate successfully into local communities. Providers will deliver culturally appropriate, person-centred and outcome-focused support for complex and often interconnected needs. They will work collaboratively with statutory services, voluntary and community organisations, partners and other stakeholders. This is a social and community services requirement, covering health and social work, social work services and related community, social and personal services. The buyer is the London Borough of Croydon, and the service is for asylum seekers and displaced people supported through its local community services.

Strong candidates will be able to design and deliver culturally sensitive, person-centred support, demonstrate a clear focus on outcomes, and respond to complex needs that may overlap across social, practical and wellbeing issues. The service requires effective partnership working with statutory services, voluntary and community organisations and other stakeholders, so providers should be able to coordinate delivery across a local support network. Relevant capability includes community engagement, social connection, integration support and practical assistance that helps people rebuild their lives. Organisations with established relationships in community and specialist support settings are likely to be well placed to compete.
