This initiative falls under the health and social work services industry category and aims to gather insights on delivering befriending services for Syrian refugees resettled in Peterborough and the Fenland district. Interested parties are invited to submit their responses by 12 noon on 31st January 2020, as part of an engagement activity, which started on 2nd January 2020. The delivery of services will be located in the East of England, UK. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in health and social services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can effectively support refugee resettlement initiatives. As this process is designed to gather feedback from potential providers rather than being a competitive procurement, businesses that can offer innovative ideas and practical solutions for befriending services will be particularly well-suited to engage with Peterborough City Council. ## Notice Peterborough City Council, via their strategic Partnership with Serco Procurement are keen to gain valuable provider insight and are seeking views from potential providers on how best to deliver befriending services for Syrian refugees resettled in the city of Peterborough and Fenland district under the local authority pledge to the Government's Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme (SVPRS.) Please note that this is not a call for competition, neither is it a procurement exercise but an opportunity for Peterborough City Council to better understand the supply market for providers to showcase their ideas.
