Employers in Scotland require good quality immigration advice and information to help them navigate the system. The provider will help employers meet their immigration needs through three tiers of support. Tier one will be a universal offer, available to everyone, and will entail the provision of up-to-date and accurate information in plain English on our digital platform. Tier two support will assist employers who are actively seeking to recruit talent to Scotland. Users who subscribe to tier two will be able to access more detailed information. This may include but is not limited to newsletters, webinars, tutorials, blogs, social media content, short videos and other means of communication. The needs of most employers will be met through tiers one and two. Tier three support will entail one-to-one advice for employers who continue to face barriers using the immigration system. This advice will be delivered online or by telephone. The advice will meet the Level 1 standards of the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner or equivalent. The provision of immigration advice is regulated and the provider will meet the relevant provisions of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. In other words, the provider must be a member or a relevant professional body or registered with the Office of Immigration Services Commissioner. The supplier will provide information and advice to employers in Scotland's public, private and third sectors. We expect the number of organisations in Scotland holding a sponsorship licence to increase as a result of this service. Reception Support for People Moving to Scotland Moving to another country can be challenging. The Scottish Government want people not only to move to Scotland, but to stay. People's first few months in Scotland and their reception is crucial to their overall experience. We therefore seek a supplier that will provide information and advice to people who are thinking about moving to Scotland, or who have just moved here. The supplier will provide up-to-date and accurate information in plain English on our digital platform. This information will cover topics that people require to help them move and settle into their communities, such as accessing public services. The supplier will also provide one-to-one advice to people who have moved to Scotland either online or by telephone. A key barrier for many people moving to Scotland is the immigration system. The advice provided will meet therefore meet Level 1 standards of the Office of the Immigration Service Commissioner or equivalent. The provision of immigration advice is regulated and the provider will meet the provisions of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.
