## Summary

The Bristol City Council has concluded the procurement process for the "CSI/ASC/SR/Refugee Resettlement Befriending Contract 2021," which aimed to select a service provider to organise volunteer befriending for adults arriving in Bristol under various resettlement schemes.

The tender was conducted through an open procurement method and reached completion on 1 December 2021, applying to multiple regions across England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the social services sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations.
