Refugee Employability Programme - ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Providers

Reed in Partnership plans to bid as a prime for the Refugee Employment Programme (REP), commissioned by the Home Office. Delivery is expected to commence in Spring 2023 and run until 2025.

The REP aims to enhance support already provided to refugees to help them integrate and become self-sufficient quickly. The REP objectives include:

• Supporting refugees into sustainable employment, tailored to the individual refugee's needs & skills
• Supporting a holistic approach through partnership working
• Alignment with existing local services to ensure a joined-up package of support
• Supporting those assessed as needing additional support in addition to mainstream services e.g. DWP Job Centre Plus Network and Adult Education Budget (i.e., they would not be able to progress to self-sufficiency with mainstream support alone).

We are seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from:

ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Providers that can deliver: English language training.

The REP applies to England only.

Please note: Requirements of this contract (including geographical lot configurations, contract duration, ESOL training deliverables and volumes) may change once the final bidding documents are released by the Home Office.
