Summary of the contracting process
The procuring authority, Kent County Council, has completed the tender process titled "SC19017 VPRS Framework" within the social work and related services industry (CPV code: 85300000). This procurement aims at delivering government refugee resettlement schemes in Kent, which include the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme (VPRS) and the Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Scheme (VCRS), with the initiatives merging into the new UK Resettlement scheme from Spring 2020.
The service covers resettlement and integration support for refugees in various districts of Kent. The awarded contracts, each valued at £317,699, were signed on 31st January 2025, and the services are set to run until 31st May 2025, with a recommissioned service commencing on 1st June 2025.

This procurement not only ensures continuity of service for vulnerable populations but also enables service providers to strengthen their position within the public sector services market by contributing to meaningful and impactful social programs.
The notice in full
The opportunity concerns the delivery of the official Government refugee resettlement schemes in Kent. Currently these are the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme (VPRS) and the Vulnerable Children's Resettlement Scheme (VCRS) but from Spring 2020 these (and the Government Gateway programme) are due to merge into the new UK Resettlement scheme.
The service being commissioned is the resettlement and integration support for refugees relocating to Kent under these and any similar future scheme yet to be announced, both for existing families and new families from April 2020.
The service will be expected to provide the above support for initially the first 3-years of each refugee's stay in the UK, with the potential for an extension of up to a further 2-years, depending on individual need and available funding.
