The Reception & Integration Agency (RIA) of my Department is responsible for the provision of accommodation and some related services to protection applicants while their applications are being processed. It is not our policy to confirm or deny whether interactions have or have not taken place with any potential service provider.
I can confirm that, as soon as practicable and together with the Office of Government Procurement (OGP), we will be issuing a request for tender (RFT) to accommodation service providers to meet specific demands. It is open to any service provider to respond to the invitation to tender when published.
