    Brief

    Middlesbrough is seeking to procure independent immigration advice services to support women, men, and children with no recourse to public funds (NRPF). These vulnerable individuals are presenting to domestic abuse specialists and statutory services, requiring support while facing risks of homelessness and financial hardship. The council needs expert immigration advisory services to help fulfill its statutory duties under Section 17 of the Children Act and domestic abuse legislation, specifically regarding accommodation and sustenance payments. This procurement will alleviate pressure on adult services, children's services, and domestic abuse teams, enabling them to manage cases more effectively and reduce financial strain on local budgets.
