Refugee Support Tenders and Contracts

Watch the portals for live refugee support tenders, or get in earlier. Stotles indexes strategy documents, committee papers and budget files from the bodies that commission this work, so a service review is visible before the notice is. Start with the awarded record on this page, since it names the incumbents you would be bidding against.

Local authorities and combined authorities do most of the buying, often through a strategic migration partnership that covers several councils at once. NHS commissioning bodies pick up the therapeutic and employability pieces. Awards dominate this topic, so incumbents and expiry dates are visible before you commit to a bid.

Refugee work maps mostly to CPV 85310000 (Social work services) and 85320000 (Social services), with 98200000 (Equal opportunities consultancy services) turning up on the employability contracts. Coding is patchy here. Plenty of notices carry only the top-level 85000000 (Health and social work services), or no code at all.

Awards, heavily. The open list is short at any one time, against a much larger pool of awarded contracts and a further slice at pre-tender or early planning. That shape decides how to use the page: the awarded record tells you who holds what, and the pre-tender notices give you a run-up before the tender lands.

Integration and resettlement support, employability and work-readiness programmes, advice and casework, therapeutic and wellbeing services, family mentoring, and the evaluation contracts that sit alongside the larger programmes. Asylum accommodation is a separate market with its own buying route and Stotles covers it on dedicated asylum pages. Interpreting and translation is bought separately again.
