As a consequence of the increase in the Refugee Quota to 1500 people annually from 1 July 2020, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (the Ministry) is seeking to purchase refugee settlement support services in six additional settlement locations from February 2020 to 30 June 2022.
This RFP relates to the purchase of refugee settlement support services in the six additional settlement locations from February 2020 to 30 June 2022, aligned with the current contract which covers the eight existing refugee settlement locations. This will enable a procurement process to be undertaken for all 14 refugee settlement locations when all contracts end in June 2022.
The successful supplier will support quota refugees in settlement locations and link them to community support and services so that following 12 months settlement in the settlement location, quota refugees will have the necessary knowledge and confidence to independently access and use mainstream services.
We are holding a supplier briefing session on the 26th June 2019. Please see Section 1 for details on how to register.
What’s important to us
We are seeking proposals from interested suppliers that are able to provide all the required services in one or more of the six new refugee settlement locations. We are open to joint or consortia tender bids, as well as innovative proposals that meet the requirements. The Ministry is looking for credible suppliers who have the capability, experience and infrastructure to deliver refugee settlement support services in the newly announced settlement locations. Being an existing national supplier of refugee settlement support services is not a pre-requisite for this tender.
Why should you bid?
This is a unique opportunity to be part of refugee settlement support services delivery in New Zealand and to make a real difference in the lives of refugees who are new to New Zealand. Successful suppliers will deliver settlement services that support refugees to achieve key settlement and integration outcomes.
This tender has been awarded. Total spend value $ 4,800,000.
