Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Covid-19 Winter Grant - Fuel voucher scheme 3," which aimed to support residents facing financial difficulties during the winter months due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The contract was awarded to Charis Grants Ltd, with a maximum value of £80,000, primarily mandated for distribution to eligible residents. The contract period is set from 1st April 2021 to 16th April 2021, following a tender that closed on 1st March 2021. This initiative falls under the health and social work services industry category and is concentrated in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in social welfare services, particularly for those capable of managing grants and financial assistance initiatives. Companies with experience in working with vulnerable communities or in financial distributions would be well-positioned to compete. The focus on local support mechanisms signals a continued demand for businesses that can effectively deliver social services, especially those with a social enterprise or community-focused model, as the local authority seeks to address ongoing inequalities exacerbated by the pandemic.
