This open procurement, classified under the CPV code 85000000, aims to support vulnerable populations in the East of England. The contract, worth £1,500,000, is set to commence on 1st April 2017 and will run until 31st March 2022. The tender period has already concluded, having ended on 31st October 2016. An award was made to the CHS Group on 13th January 2017, with the details published shortly thereafter.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in providing support services and essential resources. Businesses that offer refurbished or low-cost items, especially in sectors related to home furnishings and social support services, will find a suitable market here. Companies engaged in delivering reliable, practical assistance in times of financial distress are encouraged to explore similar contracts to enhance their community impact and expand their operational scope.

Notice Title

Cambridgeshire Local Assistance Scheme (CLAS)

Notice Description

Some families and individuals can sometimes need help and advice about making their money go further and sometimes need access to goods and resources to help them to move on from a difficult situation. Cambridgeshire's Local Assistance Scheme has been running since April 2013, providing a front line safety net to those facing financial difficulties and unexpected hardship. Cambridgeshire County Council recognises the value of the local assistance scheme in helping individuals and families cope with financial pressure and hardship. This contract will help struggling families and individuals to access information, advice and support, ensuring all other sources of assistance have been sought before goods or resources are awarded. This will help people to avoid a future crisis, to be more resilient, to better support themselves and to make the most of other opportunities. For those in most need, the service will facilitate access to a range of resources, which includes making use of reliable, refurbished, reused, and low cost household items and white goods, but this must be part of an effective, joined up intervention.
