## Summary

The Home Office is currently in the planning stage of the procurement process for the "Facilitated Returns Scheme." This initiative falls under the category of "Other services" and aims to facilitate the voluntary removal of Foreign National Offenders from the UK, providing reintegration support upon their return to their home country. The procurement process is set to draw funding of approximately £153,000, commencing on 1 January 2019, with an engagement end date for expressions of interest by 1 November 2018. The primary regions affected include London and the South East of England.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in reintegration services and immigration support. Eligible businesses can respond to this call by submitting an expression of interest to the Home Office, which seeks partners to assist in the grant-funded project. Companies offering skills in community engagement, legal advisory, and social reintegration would be particularly well-suited for this opportunity, enhancing their visibility and involvement in public sector contracts.
