Description

Hampshire County Council is working in partnership with District, Borough and City Councils across Hampshire to welcome beneficiaries to relocate under Government funded refugee/ relocation programmes.

Such schemes may include the UKRS Scheme, Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP), Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS), Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme (SVPRS) and The Vulnerable Children's Relocation Scheme (VCRS). It may also include individuals and families who originally resettled under Community Sponsorship, or transfer into the county.

Summary of Service: To furnish and equip allocated properties for families joining the scheme, prior to their planned arrival at the property. This will require the service provider to coordinate the procurement, delivery and installation of all items against a service specification. This includes beds, furniture, cooker, washing machine, bedding and kitchen equipment dictated by the arriving families size and ages. All items and installations will need to meet health and safety requirements.

Although rates of resettlement are subject to change, it is anticipated that this service would prepare approximately 19 properties during the contract term, across the whole of Hampshire. It is expected that these properties will be 4 bedrooms, with a maximum occupancy of 8 persons.
