## Summary

Liverpool City Council is initiating a procurement process for the provision of NRPF (No Recourse to Public Funds) Immigration Advice services, which falls under the legal advisory and representation services category. The procurement is in the planning stage and a preliminary market engagement notice has been published to assess market interest and potential service delivery models. The contract is valued at £240,000 gross and is set to be delivered in Liverpool, UK. Interested providers are encouraged to engage by completing the PME Questionnaire by 4pm on 22 August 2025. The contract is expected to commence on 13 February 2026 and may run until 12 February 2028, with potential renewal options.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specializing in legal advisory services, particularly those with expertise in immigration law. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as the tender is suitable for such entities. By participating, businesses can establish or enhance their presence in the legal services market, potentially influencing immigration policy implementation at a local government level while assisting the Council in fulfilling its statutory obligations efficiently.

## Notice

Liverpool City Council are looking to engage immigration legal advice providers to provide legal representation to residents who do not have recourse to public funds owing to the condition of their immigration status, and are being supported by the Council either due to their care and support needs or for factors related to their housing. This will work in tandem with a newly recruited No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) team within the Council who will manage the referral pathways to the provider. The overall aim is to support the resident to progress their immigration status to a point where they do have access to public funds and therefore improving their own personal situation and alleviate pressure on the Council.
