This falls under the services category with a classification of bailiff services (CPV code: 75242110). The procurement, initiated as a tender, aims to facilitate the departure of individuals from temporary bridging accommodation in the UK. The contract, valued at £250,000 GBP, is expected to be awarded by April/May 2023. The Home Office intends to engage with interested suppliers through an early session, subject to a Non-Disclosure Agreement. This procurement opportunity presents a chance for service providers in the security industry to compete for a contract to provide the Facilitated Departure Service across multiple locations in England, Wales, and Scotland. Businesses well-suited for this tender would be those with experience in security services and bailiff operations. The procurement method involves a single lot, focusing on the provision of services aimed at facilitating the orderly departure of guests from Home Office provided accommodation, ensuring compliance with contractual arrangements. ## Notice The Authority is responsible for over 21,000 individuals who have been brought to the United Kingdom from Afghanistan. This includes British Nationals and their families, Afghan nationals who loyally served the UK as well as others identified as particularly at risk, such as campaigners for women's rights, human rights defenders, Chevening scholars, journalists, judges and members of the LGBT+ community. The Authority is currently providing temporary bridging accommodation for around 8,500 individuals resettling in the UK under the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) or Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) schemes, whilst they await suitable settled accommodation. It is estimated that the Contract will be let by April/May 2023. It is anticipated the Authority shall require this Service for six (6) months with an option to extend if needed. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Authority seeks a Service Provider to provide a Facilitated Departure Service (private bailiff service) across a number of locations within England, Wales, and Scotland. The Service is to facilitate the departure of guests from temporary bridging accommodation when requested to do so by the Authority. The Service Provider shall interact and work collaboratively with the Authority, the Accommodation Provider, the Security Provider, the wraparound Support Provider and the Responsible Person onsite from the Authority in discharging their deliverables. The project aims to provide a mechanism to enable the removal of individuals from Home Office provided accommodation where they have been served a period of notice to make their own accommodation arrangements and leave the accommodation provided but have failed to do so. The contract for occupancy is between the Authority and the Accommodation Provider and the Authority understands that there is no need to obtain a high court writ. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/007775-2023 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Mar 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 Apr 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £250,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 75242110 - Bailiff services - 79710000 - Security services ## Release History - 17 Mar 2023 at 08:28 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/007775-2023 ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/home-office - https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
