This procurement process, currently in the planning stage, aims to deliver an English language and employment support programme for Ukrainians and Hongkongers under the British National (Overseas) route. The key milestone is the engagement end date, set for 13th December 2024. The procurement process invites potential suppliers to participate in a Pre-Tender Market Engagement (PTME) to provide insights and cost estimates by 12pm GMT on the due date. This tender can provide significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for organisations proficient in delivering educational and training services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, given their eligibility and potential alignment with the project's goals. The programme aims to enhance the employment prospects of approximately 13,000 Ukrainians and 17,000 Hongkongers through tailored support, creating a meaningful impact on local communities and providing valuable contracts for businesses with expertise in language training and job support services. ## Notice In an extension of the Government's support for Ukrainians fleeing the war who have arrived in the UK under the Ukraine Visa Schemes and the resettled Hongkongers under the Hong Kong British National (Overseas) route [HK BN(O)], the Government is exploring the feasibility of implementing a bespoke English Language and Employment support programme to aid their integration. To date, the Government has supported approximately 13,000 Ukrainians and 17,000 HK BN(O) 'learner spots' to access intensive English language lessons and employment advice on different language and employment support schemes. It now seeks to identify a supplier to deliver one bespoke programme that addresses the unique needs of both cohorts. This Pre-Tender Market Engagement (PTME) seeks information, including costs per person, in preparation for the potential procurement of a Supplier (from herein referred to as a "Potential Supplier") to increase access to suitable English language training and employment support to aid Ukrainians and HK BN(O)s in entering employment, as well as helping those already in low-paid employment into higher skilled jobs. The Authority is seeking a single Potential Supplier to deliver this contract. Further details on who may be eligible for this support and whether this programme will be UK-wide will be published in due course. The purpose of this PTME is to: * help define the requirement; help provide a better understanding of the feasibility of the requirement; * understand the best approach; * understand the capacity of the market to deliver and possible risks involved; and; * provide the market with an opportunity to ask questions, raise queries and any issues to be addressed at an early stage. Full details can be found in the attached PTME document.
