In plain English

The Greater London Authority, through Transport for London, wants to appoint immigration advisers to help single adults who are sleeping rough, or at risk of it, to clarify or fix their immigration status so they can move away from homelessness. The work is split into five separate London areas, each with its own contract, and the total estimated value is about £27.9 million.

What the buyer wants

• Deliver four core services: an initial triage and immigration assessment, further casework to resolve status issues, legal aid escalation, and related support, partnership working and training. • Provide these services from suitably qualified, experienced and appropriately regulated providers for the boroughs in one or more of the five areas. • Start delivery in July 2027, under an initial term of two years (or 1 year 9 months for the North Central area), with the option to extend for up to four more years.

Lots

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice requires suitably qualified, experienced and appropriately regulated providers, and the very large estimated value across five lots with multi-year terms is likely to rule out most small businesses unless they can show relevant experience and regulation.
