Gloucestershire County Council is tendering for a single provider (or lead provider) framework to distribute food vouchers, utility vouchers, emergency payments and other support where funding has been made available and needs speedy, safe distribution within a fixed timescale.

We advise all interested contractors to read the entire ITT and all documents referenced or linked to within the ITT carefully, to inform themselves about the opportunity and whether they would be interested in submitting a response.
