The Home Secretary announced in April 2019 the launch of the Windrush Compensation Scheme ("the Scheme"). It was announced as part of a suite of measures to right the wrongs suffered by those of the Windrush generation and their descendants who faced difficulties in demonstrating their Lawful Immigration Status. In 2021, the end date for the Windrush Compensation Scheme was removed and the Scheme is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. The Scheme Rules set out who is eligible to apply under the Scheme, what losses can be claimed for and how the Scheme operates. Further detailed information on the Compensation Scheme, including Scheme Rules, Claim Forms and associated Guidance on completing claim forms is available here: [gov.uk](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/windrush-compensation-scheme) As part of this Scheme, the Buyer wishes to appoint a Contractor to provide independent advisory services for those wishing to make a claim under the Scheme and support those who require additional support to complete the claim form and / or probate applications. The Windrush Compensation Scheme - Claims Assistance procurement is intended to procure independent advisory services for Claimants who need support in making their claims. This is an optional service that can be availed by Claimants but is not a requirement to submit their claims. The value of the contract will be in the range £1m - £1.3m. This is a volume led contract and so whilst contract value is expected to be in the stated range, it could be lower.
