## Summary

Oxford City Council is seeking a provider for the "Mentoring and Volunteering Project" aimed at enhancing volunteer pathways and mentoring for migrants. The project is part of a two-year programme funded by the Controlling Migration Fund, with an available budget of £50,000. The contract is set to commence on 3rd May 2018 and conclude on 1st December 2018. The procurement process is currently active, having been initiated as an open tender, with the deadline for submissions having passed on 30th November 2017. Interested organisations are expected to deliver services in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in education and training services, as it aims to foster community engagement through mentoring programmes. Companies that provide support services for migrants, including language training and other integration initiatives, would find themselves well-positioned to compete for the contract. Collaboration with complementary projects, such as the concurrent delivery of ESOL courses, is encouraged to maximise service effectiveness and impact.

## Notice

Oxford City Council was successful in bidding for funding from the Controlling Migration Fund though central government. Part of this funding is to improve volunteer pathways and mentoring for migrants. Funding is available for a two year programme, however year 2 funding is dependent on achievement of year 1 outcomes. A separate project will be running alongside this one, delivering ESOL and orientation courses to approximately 48 people per year and you will be expected to work closely with this project to encourage learners on the ESOL course to engage with this programme. We are looking for an organisation to deliver the Mentoring and Volunteering Project in Oxford City.
