The closing date for submissions is Friday 11th November 2022 at 6pm, with the contract expected to start in June 2023 and run until May 2025. This tender presents opportunities for ESOL Providers specialising in English language training to contribute to the Refugee Employability Programme.

Delivery is expected to commence in Spring 2023 and run until 2025. The REP aims to enhance support already provided to refugees to help them integrate and become self-sufficient quickly. The REP objectives include: * Supporting refugees into sustainable employment, tailored to the individual refugee's needs & skills * Supporting a holistic approach through partnership working * Alignment with existing local services to ensure a joined-up package of support * Supporting those assessed as needing additional support in addition to mainstream services e.g. DWP Job Centre Plus Network and Adult Education Budget (i.e., they would not be able to progress to self-sufficiency with mainstream support alone). We are seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from: ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Providers that can deliver: English language training. The REP applies to England only.
