## Summary

The London Borough of Croydon is procuring education, employment and skills development services for asylum seekers and displaced people. The service is intended to help people rebuild their lives, improve wellbeing, increase independence and integrate into local communities. Delivery should be culturally appropriate, person-centred and focused on outcomes, addressing the complex and connected needs of the people supported. The provider will work collaboratively with statutory services, voluntary and community organisations, partners and other stakeholders to provide effective support. This is a social work and related service, including social and health-related support, delivered in Croydon and across the United Kingdom as stated in the procurement information. The requirement is for services rather than goods or construction works.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries could be submitted until 23 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 30 September 2026 at 12:00. Bids could be submitted electronically. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2027, with an option to extend for a further 12 months, potentially until 30 November 2028. The procurement has one lot. Its recorded gross estimated value is £0, and the lot value is recorded as 0 AED. Offers will be evaluated using the basis set out in the tender documents. The tender information describes the contract as an initial 12-month term with a possible 12-month extension.

This opportunity suits organisations experienced in delivering education, employment and skills development for asylum seekers and displaced people, particularly providers able to combine practical support with wellbeing, independence and community-integration outcomes. Strong candidates will be able to design and deliver culturally appropriate, person-centred services and respond to complex, interconnected needs. The requirement also suits providers with effective partnership-working capability: delivery involves collaboration with statutory services, voluntary and community organisations, other partners and relevant stakeholders. Organisations should therefore be able to coordinate support across multiple services and contribute to outcome-focused delivery. Specialist social work, social care, health and community-support experience is relevant. The service is suited to providers with the capacity to manage a complete 12-month programme and, if extended, continue delivery for a further year.
