## Summary

The Cheshire East Borough Council has awarded a contract for the supply of goods and services under the CEC Emergency Assistance Scheme, which targets vulnerable residents in genuine need within Cheshire East. This procurement process falls under the goods category, specifically related to kitchen and furniture equipment, and was conducted through an open procedure. The contract, valued at £220,663, commenced on 1st January 2016 and will conclude on 31st March 2017. The tender has successfully transitioned to the award stage as of 23rd December 2015.

This procurement opportunity presents a significant chance for small or medium enterprises (SMEs) and organisations offering services related to welfare support, furniture, and household goods. Businesses that specialise in recycling or refurbishing white goods, alongside those providing essential social services, would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging in this scheme not only supports the local community but also allows suppliers to expand their market reach while contributing to social welfare initiatives.

## Notice

Award to Lot 2 of Contract for The supply of Goods and Services for CEC Emergency AssistanCE Scheme. Lot 1 awarded to Christian Concern, and notice sent via 'the Chest'. Emergency Assistance is a scheme that was introduced by Cheshire East Council following the changes to the Social Fund by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) from April 2013. The scheme is designed to prioritise support to protect the most vulnerable, i.e. those residents of Cheshire East who are in genuine need. Any award under the scheme is intended: -- To support vulnerable people facing immediate hardship, following a crisisor disaster; -- To prevent homelessness, in conjunction with support from the Housing Options Team to keep families together and safeguard vulnerable people. Alternatively support may be required to assist vulnerable people to return to or remain in the community or to ease exceptional pressure on families. The scheme is non-cash based with support provided by the provision of goods, (primarily re-cycled or reconditioned white goods and furniture) or services (including general welfare advice and signposting) and is available to those in receipt of state benefits (or low paid work in exceptional cases). The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small ormedium enterprises (SME's).
