## Summary

Oxford City Council procured school mentoring services for resettled refugee families, delivered in Oxford. The service is a structured, holistic support programme centred on dedicated one-to-one mentoring for parents and children. Its purpose is to help families build confidence, understand the education system and engage more actively in their children’s learning. Delivery is expected to follow trauma-informed principles, with support that recognises past experiences and promotes stability, trust and wellbeing. The procurement covers guidance and counselling, social work and related school and social services. It is therefore relevant to organisations providing family support, refugee or resettlement services, educational engagement and mentoring, particularly those able to work directly with families and coordinate support around children’s education.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 19 August 2026 through a restricted procedure. Asylum Welcome was selected by Oxford City Council for an awarded value of £60,182. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The tender submission deadline was 24 July 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was classified as a services contract and was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, with the same supplier and contract period recorded in the outcome. The requirement was evaluated through a selective route, meaning suppliers were invited to participate rather than responding through an unrestricted open process.

This award is a clear indicator of Oxford City Council’s demand for specialist support linking refugee-family resettlement with children’s education. A credible future provider would need to offer effective one-to-one mentoring, understand how families navigate the UK education system and engage both parents and children. Experience of working with resettled refugee families, safeguarding children and supporting people affected by trauma would be directly relevant. The service model also calls for relationship-building, cultural sensitivity and the ability to promote stability, trust and wellbeing over sustained delivery. Organisations should be able to combine practical family support with educational engagement, work consistently with schools and manage a structured programme for multiple families. The restricted procurement route also indicates the value of readiness for selective competitions.

## Notice

The programme seeks to address these challenges through a structured and holistic model of support centred around a dedicated one-to-one mentoring offer. This approach enables families to build confidence, develop their understanding of the education system, and engage more actively in their children's learning. Delivery will be guided by trauma-informed principles, ensuring that support is sensitive to past experiences and promotes stability, trust and wellbeing for both parents and children.
