The third phase will focus on the latest FACT strategy which has been updated to reflect Ministerial steer, government priorities and market developments and testing this with the market to ensure sufficient rigour and validate what may be proposed in the future ITTs. The objective is to identify potential risks early. Further phases may be included in advance of any formal procurement launch. \nIt is our intention to invite those suppliers that express an interest in this opportunity. In the event of high demand, we reserve the right to limit attendance to ensure fair and manageable engagement. Where attendance is limited, efforts will be made to ensure a representative cross-section of the market is included. For example, 13 suppliers were invited to 1-2-1 meetings between 29th August – 5th September 2025. When choosing which suppliers to speak with, the following four areas were considered:\n- RFI 2 responses: Supplier responses to every RFI 2 question were reviewed to identify any feedback that highlighted innovative approaches, especially if relevant to one of the areas the Home Office wanted to test during the 1-2-1 sessions, namely the delivery model, route to market and lotting strategy.\n- Service area coverage: The Home Office wanted to ensure a fair representation of different suppliers covering the difference service areas in the FACT procurement.\n- National and regional coverage: The Home Office aimed for mix of national and regional suppliers to provide give a balanced view in the subject areas tested in the supplier 1-2-1s.\n- Mix of supplier size: The Home Office wanted feedback from suppliers of all sizes to ensure the views of both the biggest players in the market and SMEs were covered for each service area.\nSuppliers who are unable to attend will not be disadvantaged in any future procurement and will be provided with access to any relevant materials or outputs from the engagement session.\nFor the purposes of this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice, the estimated contract value has been listed as £0.

The third phase will focus on the latest FACT strategy which has been updated to reflect Ministerial steer, government priorities and market developments and testing this with the market to ensure sufficient rigour and validate what may be proposed in the future ITTs. The objective is to identify potential risks early. Further phases may be included in advance of any formal procurement launch. \nIt is our intention to invite those suppliers that express an interest in this opportunity. In the event of high demand, we reserve the right to limit attendance to ensure fair and manageable engagement. Where attendance is limited, efforts will be made to ensure a representative cross-section of the market is included. For example, 13 suppliers were invited to 1-2-1 meetings between 29th August – 5th September 2025. When choosing which suppliers to speak with, the following four areas were considered:\n- RFI 2 responses: Supplier responses to every RFI 2 question were reviewed to identify any feedback that highlighted innovative approaches, especially if relevant to one of the areas the Home Office wanted to test during the 1-2-1 sessions, namely the delivery model, route to market and lotting strategy.\n- Service area coverage: The Home Office wanted to ensure a fair representation of different suppliers covering the difference service areas in the FACT procurement.\n- National and regional coverage: The Home Office aimed for mix of national and regional suppliers to provide give a balanced view in the subject areas tested in the supplier 1-2-1s.\n- Mix of supplier size: The Home Office wanted feedback from suppliers of all sizes to ensure the views of both the biggest players in the market and SMEs were covered for each service area.\nSuppliers who are unable to attend will not be disadvantaged in any future procurement and will be provided with access to any relevant materials or outputs from the engagement session.\nFor the purposes of this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice, the estimated contract value has been listed as £0. This figure does not reflect the expected final value of the contract. The actual estimated value is currently being finalised and will be shared as part of the ongoing market engagement process.\n1.\tTo express an interest, participants must first be registered on the Home Office eSourcing Suite.

If you have not yet registered this can be done online at: https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html\nPlease note that, in order to register, suppliers must have a valid DUNS number for the legal entity that would enter into any resulting contract.\nSuppliers wishing to participate should submit an EoI email using the following details:\nEmail address: suaprocurement@homeoffice.gov.uk\nEmail subject line: Expression of Interest – SUA – NDA Request – [DUNS Number]\nThe email must include:\n•\tSupplier legal name;\n•\tCompany House number and/or charity registration number;\n•\tDUNS number;\n•\tJaggaer Account ID;\n•\tContact details for the nominated representative, including;\n o\tName;\n o\tJob title;\n o\tEmail address;\n o\tContact telephone number.\n5. Once the above steps are completed, participants will be granted access to the NDA event in Jaggaer.\n6. The Supplier will then be asked to complete the NDA and return this document back to the Authority for countersignature. The countersigned NDA is a prerequisite to receiving the RFI materials and attending any PME event where confidential or draft material is shared.\n7. Once the RFI materials and questions are available, suppliers with a countersigned NDA will be granted access to the RFI event in Jaggaer. The Authority will notify relevant suppliers when the RFI event is opened, with participating suppliers provided access to the RFI materials at the same time.\n8. The RFI will provide further information on the Authority’s current thinking, the strategic and operational context, the potential scope of the future requirements, and the areas where supplier feedback is requested. \n9. The information provided in the RFI will be high-level and indicative only. It should not be treated as a final specification, statement of requirements, procurement strategy or commitment to procure. The documentation will be draft, with the Authority reserving the right to amend the documents and to not implement all feedback received.\n10.

The third phase will focus on the latest FACT strategy which has been updated to reflect Ministerial steer, government priorities and market developments and testing this with the market to ensure sufficient rigour and validate what may be proposed in the future ITTs. The objective is to identify potential risks early. Further phases may be included in advance of any formal procurement launch. \nIt is our intention to invite those suppliers that express an interest in this opportunity. In the event of high demand, we reserve the right to limit attendance to ensure fair and manageable engagement. Where attendance is limited, efforts will be made to ensure a representative cross-section of the market is included. For example, 13 suppliers were invited to 1-2-1 meetings between 29th August – 5th September 2025. When choosing which suppliers to speak with, the following four areas were considered:\n- RFI 2 responses: Supplier responses to every RFI 2 question were reviewed to identify any feedback that highlighted innovative approaches, especially if relevant to one of the areas the Home Office wanted to test during the 1-2-1 sessions, namely the delivery model, route to market and lotting strategy.\n- Service area coverage: The Home Office wanted to ensure a fair representation of different suppliers covering the difference service areas in the FACT procurement.\n- National and regional coverage: The Home Office aimed for mix of national and regional suppliers to provide give a balanced view in the subject areas tested in the supplier 1-2-1s.\n- Mix of supplier size: The Home Office wanted feedback from suppliers of all sizes to ensure the views of both the biggest players in the market and SMEs were covered for each service area.\nSuppliers who are unable to attend will not be disadvantaged in any future procurement and will be provided with access to any relevant materials or outputs from the engagement session.\nFor the purposes of this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice, the estimated contract value has been listed as £0.

must offer ongoing support to asylum seekers and ensure that all staff and asylum seekers have access to resources that help them recognise, respond to, and report safeguarding concerns.\nRegular welfare checks must be conducted for all asylum seekers.\n-------\nThe Home Office intends to procure a proportion of the services under the Light Touch regime in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. \nFor the avoidance of doubt following the delivery model change in relation to Service User (SU) Assistance and External Assurance.\nTo clarify, Service User Assistance will be procured via a separate Competitive Flexible Procedure (CFP), supported by its own Market Engagement (ME) activity, and is therefore out of scope of the current procurement.\nIn addition, External Assurance will be procured via an alternative route and does not form part of this CFP.\nSuppliers are requested to continue monitoring the original PMEN for any updates or further clarifications relevant to the current procurement.\n**The content of this Notice, including the nature of works and services including start date of contract, may be subject to change.**", "items": [ { "id": "1",
