## Summary

The Kent County Council is inviting tenders for the "SC19017 VPRS Framework," aimed at delivering support for the Government's refugee resettlement schemes in Kent. This procurement is classified under health and social work services, with a total contract value of £2,000,000. The current stage of the procurement is in the tender phase, with the deadline for submissions set for 22nd November 2019. The contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2020 and run for a period of three years, with a potential two-year extension based on individual needs.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in health and social work services, particularly those with expertise in refugee resettlement and integration support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete in this process, given the focus on providing tailored support for relocating families and the emphasis on collaborative service delivery within the community of Kent.

## Notice

The opportunity concerns the delivery of the official Government refugee resettlement schemes in Kent.Currently these are the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme (VPRS) and the Vulnerable Children's Resettlement Scheme (VCRS) but from Spring 2020 these (and the Government Gateway programme) are due to merge into the new UK Resettlement scheme. The service being commissioned is the resettlement and integration support for refugees relocating to Kent under these and any similar future scheme yet to be announced, both for existing families and new families from April 2020. The service will be expected to provide the above support for initially the first 3-years of each refugee's stay in the UK, with the potential for an extension of up to a further 2-years, depending on individual need and available funding.
