This contract, classified under welfare services not delivered through residential institutions, is valued at £160,000, with a minimum contract value of £150,000. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure exceeding the specified threshold, and the tender period closes on 7 September 2017, with the contract period commencing on 1 December 2017 and concluding on 30 November 2022. The services will be delivered in Reading, UK, specifically within the postal code RG1 2LU. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in welfare services, particularly those with experience in supporting refugee integration. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, given the programme's emphasis on community engagement and support. Successful bidders will not only contribute to a meaningful social cause but can also establish durable partnerships with the local council and enhance their capabilities in delivering essential community services. ## Notice The specification document sets out the requirements to be provided to deliver the front line case work, support and integration of Syrian refugees, who are SVPs of the Government's Syrian Vulnerable Person's Resettlement (SVPR) programme, during their first 12 months of arrival in Reading. The Government's expectation is that the SVPs should be fully integrated into life in the UK by the end of the 12 months. Reading Borough Council has committed to take three families per year over five years (2016-2021) through the Government's Syrian Vulnerable Person's Resettlement (SVPR) programme. These refugees are granted 5 year 'humanitarian leave' to stay in the UK, access to public funds, access to the labour market and the possibility of a family reunion. The Syrian Vulnerable Person's Resettlement (SVPR) programme provides specified funding to local areas for the refugees' housing, medical, education, care and integration support costs.
