## Summary

The Welsh Government is inviting tenders for the "ReStart: Refugee Integration Project – ESOL Hubs", a key initiative aimed at providing education and training services for refugees predominantly in Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, and Wrexham. The procurement process is currently in the Awards stage, having concluded on 14th December 2020, with a budget of £474,000 allocated for the service provision between 1st April 2021 and 31st December 2021. The project supports the Welsh Government's commitment to creating a 'Nation of Sanctuary' by enhancing refugees' access to language tuition, employability support, and cultural knowledge, crucial for their integration into society.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in educational and training services, particularly those with experience in supporting refugee integration or working collaboratively with local communities. Companies like Cardiff & Vale College, which already hold a contract under this initiative, highlight the potential for partnerships with service providers that can deliver high-quality educational programmes in the specified regions. Organisations capable of demonstrating strong governance and advising on employability skills will be well-positioned to compete and contribute to the project's overall success.

## Notice

The ReStart Project delivers an ambitious and innovative integration support programme for refugees, primarily in Wales' four asylum dispersal clusters (Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and Wrexham). The project improves access to language tuition, employability support and local cultural knowledge to aid integration. Refugees receive a holistic assessment of their needs and are routed through targeted support to enhance their efforts to integrate into society. The project plays a key part in the Welsh Government's commitment to develop a 'Nation of Sanctuary'. This contract plays a major part in the project, aiming to procure suitable service provision (the ReStart: Refugee Integration Service) for Refugees between 1 April 2021 - 31 December 2021, operating primarily in Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and Wrexham. Opportunities to deliver aspects of the service in other appropriate locations across Wales will be sought but the same service is not expected to be available outside of these four areas. Successful delivery of the service will require strong collaborative working and well established governance procedures.
