UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Gloucestershire County Council has concluded a public procurement process to administer the Gloucestershire Welfare Support Scheme and the Gloucestershire Emergency Welfare Scheme, with the services set to commence on 1st October 2025 and run until 30th September 2029. This tender, under the "services" category, is part of a framework agreement with an open procurement method. The process involved awarding contracts through two distinct lots, titled "Local Welfare Support Services" and "Emergency Welfare Services." The scheme will assist in distributing food and utility vouchers as well as emergency payments within the UKK13 region. The award, pending contract signature scheduled for 18th August 2025, includes Evouchers Ltd as a supplier and highlights the procurement's light touch regime. The partnership will also support Gloucestershire County Council’s dedication to health and social welfare improvements.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for enterprises specialising in benefit and social work services. The procurement is ideal for businesses capable of handling large-scale administrative tasks, as underscored by the participation of both large enterprises like AURIGA SERVICES LIMITED and smaller entities such as FAMILY FUND TRADING LIMITED. Firms equipped to manage framework agreements without the need for competition will find this advantageous, especially those adept at pivoting operations based on variable funding sources, given the non-fixed budget for the Emergency Welfare Services. The procurement enhances prospects for both SMEs and non-profit organisations capable of navigating complex service delivery requirements and adapting to government grant conditions. Businesses in the UK region focusing on social impact can leverage this opportunity to expand their footprint and contribute to local community welfare.
