NRPF Immigration Advice · UK public procurement notice
Authority: Liverpool City Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionLiverpool City Council are looking to engage immigration legal advice providers to provide legal representation to residents who do not have recourse to public funds owing to the condition of their immigration status, and are being supported by the Council either due to their care and support needs or for factors related to their housing.
This will work in tandem with a newly recruited No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) team within the Council who will manage the referral pathways to the provider. The overall aim is to support the resident to progress their immigration status to a point where they do have access to public funds and therefore improving their own personal situation and alleviate pressure on the Council.
