## Summary

The Welsh Government is seeking bidders for the "Experts by Experience" contract under its Nation of Sanctuary policy. This tender is classified under the industry category of Other community, social and personal services and is located in Wales (UKL). The procurement is currently at the tender stage and follows an open competition method. The tender period concludes on 28th March 2025 with the enquiry period ending on 21st March 2025. The intended contract start date is 16th April 2025, lasting until 31st March 2026, with an option to renew for another year.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), particularly those experienced in working with sanctuary seekers or those involved in community and social services. Successful bidders will support a panel of approximately 10 sanctuary seekers, providing valuable insights to shape and implement policies for new arrivals in Wales. The winning business will benefit from a gross contract value of £144,000, promoting both financial growth and enhanced reputation in the community services segment.

## Notice

As part of the Welsh Government's Nation of Sanctuary policy, there is a commitment to "Involve sanctuary seekers as experts by experience at the heart of policy development and to improve the integration of new arrivals." This contract is to help meet that commitment. The requirement is for the Bidder to identify and support a group of approximately 10 sanctuary seekers who have diverse experiences and backgrounds. They will act as a panel of Experts by Experience (EbE). All must currently be (or have recently been) sanctuary seekers residing in Wales. The panel will enable Welsh Government to draw upon the insights of those with lived experience when developing and implementing policies and when taking decisions which are likely to affect sanctuary seekers. The aim is to ensure policies are fit-for-purpose and decisions are most likely to be inclusive and effective.
