The contracting opportunity falls under the industry category of Other community, social and personal services, with a procurement method described as an open procedure. The deadline for tender submission is set for July 5, 2024, and the contract period is scheduled to run from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2028. Businesses interested in providing resettlement and integration support services in the United Kingdom, focusing on promoting independence and self-sufficiency, are encouraged to participate in this procurement stage. The procurement process led by Essex County Council presents an opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs to engage in providing essential services to refugee beneficiaries in the Essex administrative area. Suitable businesses should have the capacity to offer accommodation and caseworker support, compatible with HM Government's refugee resettlement schemes. By aligning with the requirements outlined in the tender, businesses can contribute to facilitating the resettlement and integration processes for refugee beneficiaries, helping them move towards self-sufficiency and independence, thereby supporting the overarching goals of the Essex Council's programme. ## Notice Essex County Council is seeking a delivery partner to provide resettlement and future integration support to refugee beneficiaries and facilitate the delivery of specific and specialist services as required. The provider should be able to provide both accommodation and caseworker support across the Essex programme stages under HM Government's refugee resettlement schemes, for the remaining years of current schemes and any future resettlement policies implemented by HM Government. This includes the current beneficiaries who are still living in Essex under the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme and Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy (ACRS/ARAP), the U.K. Resettlement Scheme (UKRS), and any future HM Government refugee resettlement schemes set up during the lifetime of the framework agreement. Resettlement and integration support from a dedicated provider is required that promotes independence and enables beneficiaries to move towards self-sufficiency through a flexible delivery model that can operate across the whole of the Essex County Council administrative area and meets the delivery outcomes as detailed in the specification. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/534f857b-2f11-4e06-a63d-ccb8fdae2a5e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Jun 2024 | | Submission deadline | 5 Jul 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2024 - 31 Aug 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | CHELMSFORD | | Post town | Chelmsford | | Postcode | CM1 1QH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH36 Heart of Essex | | Local authority | Chelmsford | | Electoral ward | Moulsham and Central | | Westminster constituency | Chelmsford | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 70 - Real estate services - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 70210000 - Residential property renting or leasing services - 85300000 - Social work and related services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 4 Jun 2024 at 15:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/534f857b-2f11-4e06-a63d-ccb8fdae2a5e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/534f857b-2f11-4e06-a63d-ccb8fdae2a5e 4th June 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Login Access to procurement documents ## Notice URLs - https://www.essex.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
