Civil news: opportunity to deliver immigration and asylum work
We welcome expressions of interest to deliver immigration and asylum services in London and/or Kent.
Expressions of interest are invited from 2013 Standard Civil Contract holders currently providing immigration and asylum services to deliver supplementary matter starts in these access points:
- London and/or
- Mid, South West and Coastal Kent
This is because of increases in:
- Demand from asylum seekers being transferred from other areas of the UK to London by National Asylum Seeker Support (NASS)
- Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children (UASC) following the closure of the camp at Calais
Who can apply?
This opportunity is open to organisations which currently hold a 2013 Standard Civil Contract in the immigration and asylum category of law.
Supplementary matter starts may be requested only for offices that are already authorised to deliver immigration & asylum services in either of the relevant access points.
How to apply
You can apply to deliver supplementary matter starts in London and/or Mid, South West and Coastal Kent by downloading and completing the relevant expression of interest document. This is available on the GOV.UK civil tenders’ page – see below.
Organisations interested in delivering these services must complete and return the relevant expression of interest document by the deadline of 12 noon on Thursday 23 March 2017.
