This procurement falls under the social services category and is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 7th October 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 25th October 2021 and run for a period of 12 months, with a budget value of £80,000 and a minimum contract value of £40,000. The location for service delivery will be in London, United Kingdom, and the procurement method employed is an open procedure below threshold. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in immigration advisory services or social support for vulnerable families. Companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary or community sector organisations (VCSEs), that can offer expertise in navigating immigration processes and providing practical assistance would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement could facilitate business growth while also contributing positively to community welfare by addressing the needs of families at risk of destitution. ## Notice Newham has a transient population with a high number of families facing immigration issues and having No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF). People with no recourse to public funds (NRPF) are at high risk of homelessness and destitution because they cannot access mainstream housing, welfare benefits and employment. LBN is seeking provision of high quality immigration advice and services to NRPF families (referred non-UK nationals) who are destitute or at risk or being destitute (as specified in Section 82 of the Immigration and Asylum Act, 1999) up to OISC level 3 or equivalent. This will test an invest to save model for the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) for 12 months in order to inform future commissioning arrangements. By testing the impact of free and independent, high-quality immigration advice and support, we hope to see NRPF families who are destitute or at risk of destitution resolve their immigration status and access housing quicker, therefore reducing the long-term financial burden on the Council. There are currently 134 families allocated to the NRPF team. Purpose This service specification forms part of the contract with the London Borough of Newham (LBN) during the contract term and sets out LBN's requirements in respect of the provision of high quality immigration advice and services to NRPF families who are destitute or at risk or being destitute. This specification should be read in conjunction with the other contract documents, including the Conditions of Contract and any other information that is considered to have formed a part of the tender and is taken into account by the Authority. The service duration will cover a period of up to 12 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b889f15a-ec21-4adf-80f8-1e81a25dc4cf | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | 7 Oct 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Oct 2021 - 24 Oct 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON BOROUGH OF NEWHAM | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E16 2QU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Newham | | Electoral ward | Royal Albert | | Westminster constituency | West Ham and Beckton | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85320000 - Social services ## Release History - 15 Sep 2021 at 15:40 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b889f15a-ec21-4adf-80f8-1e81a25dc4cf ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b889f15a-ec21-4adf-80f8-1e81a25dc4cf 15th September 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
