## Summary

Leeds City Council has completed a direct award for the provision of bilingual general and legal advice under the title "Bilingual general and legal advice". This service is part of the Hong Kong BNO Welcome Programme and caters to the Yorkshire and Humber region, primarily serving Hongkongers who have relocated via the BNO visa route. The contract is valued at £30,000 and spans from 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022. The advisory services fall under the legal advisory services category (CPV 79111000), and the tender period concluded on 18 February 2022.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those offering legal and advisory services, who have experience in multilingual environments and can effectively support clients navigating the complexities of the BNO visa system.
