The Home Office plans to procure independent advisory services for those applying to the Windrush Compensation Scheme and are seeking additional support. The content of this PIN may be subject to change.

Additional information: See attached PIN: The Home Secretary announced in April 2019 the launch of the Windrush Compensation Scheme. In 2021, the end date for the Windrush Compensation Scheme was removed and the Scheme is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. As part of this Scheme, The Home Office is seeking suppliers 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. Selection of this service is at the discretion of the claimant and is not a requirement for submission of the form. It is expected that the chosen supplier will be delivering this service by July 2024. The Service is required in the UK and must also provide an ability to support individuals from overseas. Service users can contact the supplier directly or will be referred to the supplier via the Windrush Helpline, operated by the Home Office. The content of this PIN, including the nature of services and estimated value, may be subject to change.
