This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and is set to take place in Ealing, England. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with a contract value of £50,000. The project is expected to run from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022, with a future notice date of 18 February 2021. Interested parties must register to express their interest in the planned procurement notice. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in children's immigration services, particularly those with expertise in delivering regulated immigration advice and training. Companies equipped to provide both strategic and practical solutions for local authorities, especially in supporting children with immigration and citizenship needs, will find this tender well-suited for their capabilities. The project encourages engagement from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that wish to enhance their portfolio and expand their reach within the public sector. ## Notice The GLA is grant funding the London Borough of Ealing, to work in partnership with an experienced children's immigration specialist organisation, to develop new ways to identify and resolve the immigration and citizenship needs of children and young people in local authority care. Ealing is looking for an experienced provider in this field to work in partnership with the Council to contribute towards a programme which aims to develop a model that can be implemented across local authorities to embed positive practice among children's social care teams. It is envisaged the legacy of this pilot programme will ensure improved systems for the identification and support of children in care with immigration needs, as well as using the learnings from this programme to inform national policymaking and resource-allocation for local authorities to meet this need. This funding will enable the local authority to work with an experienced provider organisation to develop, embed and test a working model to identify and resolve the immigration needs of the children in its care. Through a competitive tendering process, Ealing will award a one year contract of PS50,000 to a children's immigration expert organisation(s) to do the following: * Provide SRA regulated, or up to OISC level 3 accredited expert immigration advice and representation; * Deliver training for local authority staff, specifically within social care teams, on how to identify and support children and young people with immigration and citizenship needs; * Develop durable models and casework systems that can be implemented by the local authority for long-term improvements in identification and support of children and young people in local authority care with immigration and citizenship needs beyond this programme.
