This tender presents a substantial growth opportunity, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), due to the project's suitability criteria. Businesses specialising in education, training, and healthcare services will find this procurement particularly appealing. It allows for engagement in a high-value contract to deliver impactful programmes capable of integrating talented refugee professionals into the NHS workforce.
