Summary of the contracting process

The Shetland Islands Council is conducting a public procurement process for the "Provision of a Financial Health Service" to assist vulnerable residents in Shetland facing financial difficulties. This initiative falls under the services category and aims to address general public services related to financial health. The tender was initiated on 10 August 2018 and the submission deadline is set for 20 September 2018. Successful bidders will be expected to deliver services from 1 January 2019 until 31 December 2022, with a contract value of £200,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, enabling broad competition.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial advisory services, particularly those with experience in supporting low-income individuals and managing debt-related issues. Companies that can offer tailored financial support and have a solid understanding of applicable benefits and financial management would be particularly well-suited to compete. Given the localised focus on the Shetland community, businesses familiar with rural service delivery and capable of providing accessible face-to-face and remote support will be at a competitive advantage.
