## Summary

Lancaster City Council procured resettlement services for refugees and asylum seekers living in the Lancaster district. The requirement is a signposting and casework drop-in service, providing accessible information, referrals and practical casework support to people who have resettled or are seeking asylum. It is a local health and social work service, classified under CPV 85000000, delivered for residents across the council’s district rather than for a single named facility. The buyer is Lancaster City Council, the sub-central public authority responsible for commissioning the service. The requirement therefore suits organisations that can provide face-to-face community support, understand the needs of refugees and asylum seekers, and operate effectively within Lancaster and its surrounding communities.

The procurement has been completed and the contract is active. Lancaster City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for one lot. Global Link (Lancaster) was awarded the requirement, and the contract was signed on 21 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028. Its gross value is £108,000. The award covers services classified as health and social work services. The outcome shows that the council selected a local SME through a non-competitive below-threshold route. The contract is active, while the associated tender is complete. The procurement was evaluated through the council’s direct-award decision rather than an open bidding process.

This award demonstrates a defined local need for specialist resettlement support combining signposting with casework drop-in provision. A credible future competitor would need staff who understand refugee and asylum-seeker circumstances, can provide trusted one-to-one advice, identify needs and make effective referrals, and can deliver accessible community-facing sessions. Experience in health, social care, welfare, immigration-related support or related voluntary-sector services would be relevant to the requirement. Providers should also be able to work consistently across Lancaster district, build relationships with public and community organisations, protect confidential case information and manage a reliable drop-in service. The selected provider’s SME status indicates that delivery at this scale can be undertaken by a focused local or specialist organisation rather than only by a large national contractor.
