The initial contract period runs from April 2027 to March 2029 (2 years), with the option to extend annually for up to 3 additional years through March 2032, subject to continued UK Government funding. Providers should demonstrate experience in supporting vulnerable young people, asylum processes, and multi-agency coordination.
