Description

Awarded Contract for Global Talent Visa Digital Technology Endorsing Body Services

The Secretary of State for the Home Department as part of the Crown, acting through UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) (the "Home Office"), has completed an Open Procurement Procedure under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and is awarding a contract for an Endorsing Body Service for the Digital Technology pathway of the Global Talent visa.

The Global Talent Visa is a key enabler of immigration policy. It was introduced in February 2020 to replace the Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) visa and make the process smoother, efficient, and more attractive for exceptionally talented people to live and work in the UK.

To qualify under the Global Talent Visa category, most applicants (excluding those that have prestigious prizes) need to be endorsed by a relevant Endorsing Body. The Endorsing Body is responsible for assessing whether an individual is internationally recognised as, or has demonstrated the potential to become, a leader in digital technology

This is a 3 year contract with an option to extend by a further two 12 month periods. The contract value quoted relates to the entire contract length, inclusive of both the initial three year term and any optional extensions.

Additional information on the visa can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/global-talent-digital-technology.
