This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and aims to provide support for vulnerable Syrian refugees relocating to the UK as part of a broader government effort. The procurement process has transitioned to the award stage following an open tender, with the awarded contract value of £440,000 for a contract period commencing on 1st April 2017 and ending on 31st March 2020. The tender period closed on 14th October 2016, and the service will be delivered in the East of England region. This opportunity presents a significant avenue for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) equipped to provide health and social support services. Businesses with expertise in refugee integration, social work facilitation, and casework support would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The ability to register through Suffolk sourcing is essential for interested providers wishing to enter this segment of public procurement. ## Notice On 29 January 2014, the Home Secretary made a statement to Parliament outlining the Government's intention to relocate to the UK some of the most vulnerable Syrian refugees, displaced to neighbouring countries by the ongoing conflict. The Prime Minister announced in September 2015 that the United Kingdom will accept 20,000 Syrian refugees, for the period of this Parliament, under the terms of the Syrian Resettlement Programme (SRP). The Home Office asked all local authorities to consider taking individuals under the SRP. Suffolk Public Sector Leaders agreed to participate in the scheme and accept a maximum of up to 200 individuals over the 5 years of the scheme. Therefore Suffolk County Council is looking to appoint a suitably qualified organisation to deliver resettlement support services for families and individuals displaced as a result of the ongoing conflict in Syria. An interim contract was put in place for the first year to allow the Council to meet urgent need and we are now ready to run a formal procurement process to allow a new contract for the required services to commence from 1st April 2017. The contract period will be for 3 years with the option to extend for up to a further period of 36 months.
