Summary of the contracting process

Cherwell District & South Northamptonshire Council is seeking providers for Debt and Money Advice Services within Cherwell District through a recently awarded tender titled "Invitation to Tender for the Provision of Debt and Money Advice Services." This process is classified under the services industry category, specifically focusing on community, social, and personal services. The contract, awarded on 1st June 2017, has a duration of two years, starting from 30th June 2017 and ending on 31st March 2019, with a possible one-year extension at the council's discretion. The tender was published shortly before the closing date of 27th June 2017, and the total funding available is set at £252,089 per annum to cover three separate lots.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs), that specialise in providing advice services. Given the emphasis on building strong links with community organisations and the importance of trust in service delivery, businesses that can demonstrate experience and a collaborative approach will be well positioned to compete. The requirement for consistency in service quality and the potential for integrating trained volunteers into service delivery could also enhance the value proposition for bidders aiming to contribute to community wellbeing and economic stability.

Notice Title

Invitation to Tender for the Provision of Debt and Money Advice Services - AWARD

Notice Description

Cherwell District council wishes to re-tender for the provision of Debt and Money Advice across the whole of the Cherwell District Council. The business case for voluntary sector agencies to deliver debt and money advice is very strong: *Members of the public are more likely to ask an organisation who they know and trust for advice than a statutory service *Voluntary agencies are able to attract additional funding through charitable trusts, fundraising etc to enhance a service *Trained Volunteers working alongside paid staff enhance service provision and add value ~ often the value of volunteer hours over a year can equate to thousands of pounds 'in kind'. *Specifically for advice, The 'Case for Advice' (advice Services Alliance) has previously detailed the huge savings in relation to community cohesion, health and wellbeing, economic benefits and social inclusion and improving public services. The Council is keen to ensure adequate funding for Debt and Money advice in spite of the continued pressure on budgets and is seeking the following key outcomes from its proposed model provision. *Consistency across the district in the quality of advice and scope of advice *Strong multi-agency links and information sharing protocols *Strengthened business continuity through staff and volunteers being able to work across locations should issues arise with absence and/or recruitment The Contract will be for a 2 year period with the option to extend by a further 1 year at the sole discretion of the Council. The total value available is for PS252,089 per year which covers all 3 lots. further information can be found within the Tender Documentation.
