Notice Title

Cambridge City Council - Universal Credit Outreach

Notice Description

Personal Budgeting Support is offered to all Universal Credit Full Service claimants when they transition to UC. This is to support claimants to manage their monthly payments and prioritise essential bills such as rent/utilities. Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council are seeking to appoint a suitable contractor to provide this service for an initial period of 24 months. A successful bid to the Sharing Prosperity Fund approved a two year outreach project to provide up to 5 hours per day, 5 days per week resource in Cambridge Jobcentre Plus offices to support new and existing claimants, resident in Cambridge or South Cambridgeshire, to Universal Credit in particular with personal budgeting support.
