## Summary

The Home Office is initiating a public procurement process for a Grant Funding opportunity titled "Revised EOI - Grant Funding For Supported Returns Facilitation / Welfare Project." This opportunity falls under the category of guidance services and is aimed at organisations capable of supporting international resettlement initiatives. The project is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone engagement end date set for 26th February 2021. Interested parties must express their intentions by this date, and can submit their applications to the designated contact, Lee Walsh, at the Home Office in London, UK.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that possess relevant expertise in welfare project facilitation and guidance services. With the encouragement of voluntary returns from immigration detention facilities, businesses with experience in social service provision, community engagement, and related consultative roles would be well-suited to participate. The availability of European funding further enhances the prospects for successful bidders in driving impact and advancing their service offerings within the public sector.

## Notice

Please note this EOI relates to Grant Funding and not a Contract. Due to the availability of European Funding, the Home Office is considering its options for delivering an initiative to support international resettlement by means of encouraging voluntary, compliant returns from within the immigration detention estate at Yarl's Wood, Heathrow sites and from summer 2021, also at a new IRC provision - Hassockfield, County Durham. This may require a competitive call for grant funding. To determine the extent and nature of such a process we are seeking expressions of interest from capable organisations, with the appropriate experience and expertise. Additional information: Any expressions of interest should be sent to: lee.walsh4@homeoffice.gov.uk by 16:00 on Friday 26th February 2021 confirming your interest and detailing your: Name Contact Number E-mail Address Organisation Name
