    The supplier will be responsible for ensuring the successful delivery of the outcomes stipulated under the UK Home Office's requirement for local authorities to support the integration of individuals and families settled in the United Kingdom through the Afghan Locally-Employed Staff Resettlement programme. This includes: - preparing allocated properties for individuals and families by ensuring that they meet required standards including organising basic furnishing and provisions - to support families to move-in to their property once it is ready - to support families in accessing local statutory services: such as completing registration with schools, GPs and helping them to - to provide casework support to individuals and their families to help them feel safe and settled in their communities, and to support their adjustment to life in the UK so that they are able to play full and active roles in their new communities - to provide support in accessing education, training and employment where appropriate: including providing support with English language skills where required - other personal support as required to enable individuals to feel safe and settled in the UK and to deliver the objectives of the scheme The exact number of families to be resettled in Gloucestershire is uncertain, but we anticipate up to 35 families may be allocated to properties in the county under the scheme.

Procedure rationaleThe Council intends to make a direct award for up to £1,720,000 to Gloucestershire Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers (GARAS) under Regulation 75(2) and the provisions of Regulation 32(2)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and used the negotiated procedure without prior publication to appoint GARAS to deliver the services. The Council considers that the use of this procedure is justified for the following reasons: Necessary: the arrival of families into the UK under the Home Office scheme generates a requirement to support the successful integration of families, and to ensure the ability of families to access statutory services including social care, education and primary health services. Providing this and wider support is necessary to uphold commitments made to these families by the UK government, and to mitigate the risk created by the arrival of families into the local authority area in the absence of accompanying support. Urgent: the withdrawal of UK forces and rapid subsequent collapse of existing security arrangements in Afghanistan has led to the urgent relocation of existing families. A large number of families are already arriving in the UK and new flights arriving on a regular basis in the coming weeks. The Home Office has communicated the urgency of the demand for support to all local authorities, and the required support is beyond the capacity of the local authority to mobilise and deliver in the timeframe required. Gloucester has been specifically identified by the Home Office as an area for the relocation of Afghan families and we understand this may commence at short-notice: there is an urgent need to mobilise support now to ensure that this is available once families arrive. - Unforeseeable: the requirement and the urgency generated by the pace of the deterioration of security conditions in Afghanistan were not reasonably foreseeable by the local authority and are entirely and plainly outside the control of Gloucester City or any other Gloucestershire local authority.
