The programme aims to help refugees integrate and become self-sufficient by supporting them into sustainable employment or self-employment. The anticipated contract period is from May 2023 to July 2025, with opportunities available in the North West and Yorkshire & Humber regions. This tender presents an opportunity for experienced organisations to engage with the REP initiative and provide services such as end-to-end delivery, English language support, interpreting and translation services, and other relevant support identified in Lot 4. Businesses in the adult education services and translation services sectors are well-suited to compete for this tender, especially those with experience in working with vulnerable populations seeking sustainable employment. ## Notice The Growth Company is seeking key partners for our bids to The Refugee Employability Programme (REP), commissioned by the Home Office. Delivery is expected to commence in July 2023 and run for 2 years, with mobilisation from May 2023. We currently intend to bid for the North West and Yorkshire & Humber Lots. The overarching aim of the REP is to enhance the support already provided to refugees (from safe/legal routes) to help them integrate and become self-sufficient more quickly. It is focused on supporting refugees into sustainable employment, or self-employment, tailored to refugees' needs and skills. Case-worker-led, it comprises three pillars of support: Employability; Integration; English Language support. Understanding of refugees' needs and the regional context for support and employment opportunities is key, as is effective partnership working. REP should be accessed only by those who require extra support. Refugees should access mainstream services such as the DWP Job Centre Plus (JCP) Network and the DfE Adult Education Budget (AEB) as the primary offer of support. We are seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from experienced organisations for: * Lot 1: End to End REP delivery across a given geography, (ability to deliver face-to-face and virtually). This will include engagement and onboarding of service users, case worker delivery, employability and integration support, and may also include ESOL support. * Lot 2: English Language support (ESOL) * Lot 3: Interpreting and Translation Services * Lot 4: Other relevant support (see Lot 4 for details) To apply for the opportunity, please register on the Panacea portal with the link provided. The deadline to send your response is 12th December at 12 noon ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4da171e2-ee40-4183-999f-874333d3ba37 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Expression of Interest | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Dec 2022 | | Submission deadline | 12 Dec 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 May 2023 - 31 Jul 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | 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 | THE GROWTH COMPANY LIMITED | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 5JW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Deansgate | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 79530000 - Translation services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 6 Dec 2022 at 12:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4da171e2-ee40-4183-999f-874333d3ba37 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4da171e2-ee40-4183-999f-874333d3ba37 6th December 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://app.panacea-software.com/growth When you register, make sure you select that you will be a 'Supplier' Once you have accessed the site, to view the opportunity you need to navigate to 'Register Interest' Click the 'Participate' Button Navigate to 'My Questionnaires' where you will be able to download the EOI document ## Notice URLs - http://www.growthco.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
