UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council is seeking a provider for grant-funded advice services in Coventry. The work is divided into two lots: specialist legal advice, including legal advice on welfare benefits; and general welfare-benefit and debt advice. Both lots concern guidance and community services, delivered in Coventry. The Council intends to appoint one provider for the two lots. Suppliers working in legal advice, welfare benefits, debt advice or related community support may find the subject matter relevant, depending on the lot they can deliver.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry and tender submission deadlines were both set for 19 November 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period for each lot runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. Lot 1, specialist legal and welfare-benefit advice, has an estimated value of £970,000 excluding VAT (£1,164,000 including VAT). Lot 2, general welfare-benefit and debt advice, is valued at £670,000 excluding VAT (£804,000 including VAT). The published total estimate is £1,640,000 excluding VAT (£1,968,000 including VAT). Quality accounts for 100% of the evaluation for each lot.

Both lots are identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Providers with relevant delivery capability can consider the lot that matches their service: specialist legal and welfare-benefit advice, or general welfare-benefit and debt advice. The requirement is for a provider to deliver advice services in Coventry over the contract period. The stated evaluation is entirely quality-based, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate the quality of their proposed service. The procurement does not set out further specific accreditation, staffing, capacity or experience requirements in the information provided.
