The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is providing an additional funding to PCC, under section 31 of the Local Government Act 2003, to administer the COVID local Support Grant and provide direct assistance to vulnerable households and families with children particularly affected by the pandemic. This will include all families who normally have access to Free School Meals during term time and others on the periphery of benefits in hardship. PCC will deliver the scheme through food vouchers. A contract is required to be put in place to deliver approx. 11,205 eVoucher codes during the school summer holiday period. This will ensure that the Council has suitable arrangements in place for the distribution of funding to vulnerable families.

Procurement Information

The contract is to provide emergency food vouchers for vulnerable households and eligible families with children who are at risk of going hungry due to the impact of the COVID19 pandemic. This will include all families who normally have access to Free School Meals (FSM) during term time and others on the periphery of benefits in hardship. PCC will deliver the scheme through food vouchers. The timescale for the procurement is dictated by the short time period between the release of Covid Local Support Grant funding by the Department for Work and Pensions to local authorities and the requirement to distribute the vouchers in a timely manner to ensure that children have food over the Summer holidays when the schools are shut. The requirement is urgent, was unknown until funding was announced and the short timescales for the procurement are dictated by factors outside the control of Plymouth City Council. As such Article 32(c) of the EU Directive 2014/24/EU (Regulation 32(c) UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015) applies to this procurement.
