The Opportunity:
MFAT will soon release an RFP for Technical Assistance under Phase III of the SPLM Programme, which supports Pacific countries to maximise the benefits of labour mobility through the Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) scheme.
This procurement will support Labour Mobility Units (LMUs) in three areas:
1. Policy and Process Support – Two full-time advisors will support LMUs in seven Pacific countries to strengthen planning, improve processes, and build communications and recruitment capability.
2. Pre-Departure Training – Develop and deliver refreshed training materials, including stakeholder engagement, content creation (with translation and printing), and training LMUs to deliver them.
3. Reintegration Support – Design and implement reintegration tools and data systems, with tailored support and training for each LMU.
What We Need:
We are seeking a supplier with labour mobility experience, cultural competency, and strong project and relationship management skills. The focus is on building LMU capability, not managing them. Work must align with other SPLM initiatives and be sustainable beyond December 2028.
Out of Scope
- Managing LMUs
- Onshore SPLM activities (covered by another partner)
- Changing RSE regulatory settings
If you're interested:
The RFP is expected on GETS from 3 October 2025 (indicative), with proposals due by 3 November 2025 (indicative). Contract start is anticipated in early 2026.
