The provision will be provided to Individuals in the community who for reasons of physical or mental capacity, or safeguarding risk need support in managing their personal finances. Lot 1 - Money Management and Cash Handling for Adults with Care Needs: This Service will focus on access to personal funds for Individuals with eligible social care needs via home cash deliveries, a drop-in cash collection service, as well as the provision of pre-payment cards. The aim is to allow Individuals to live independently, preventing matters of debt leading to housing loss, risk of mental ill health or the need for residential care. Lot 2 - Money & Debt Advice for Council Tenants and Leaseholders: This Service will provide money advice for council tenants and leaseholders who are experiencing, or at risk of, financial difficulty. The Service will support residents to build financial resilience, prevent the escalation of rent and leasehold arrears, and reduce the risk of eviction, forfeiture, or homelessness. The Provider(s) for both Lot 1 & 2 will be required to operate from a central base in Brighton & Hove, which is accessible to the public.",

The scores a Bidder achieves for quality and price within each Lot will be weighted as per the above percentage and then combined to give the Bidder's overall score for that Lot. Overall scores will be used to rank the Bidders to identify the most advantageous tender with the highest ranked Bidder for each Lot being awarded the contract. Preferred Supplier stage: The Council reserves the right to include a Preferred Supplier stage following conclusion of the initial evaluation process.
