## Summary

Cheshire East Council has successfully awarded a contract for the "21 113 Voucher Scheme - Household Support Fund," a new initiative aimed at providing support for vulnerable households, funded by a £500 million allocation from central government. This procurement, which falls under the category of Administration, defence and social security services, is part of a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically Crown Commercial Services ref RM6255. The contract, valued at £2,000,000, commenced on 15 November 2021 and is set to conclude on 14 November 2022. The procurement process reached its award stage on 15 November 2021, with publication on 26 November 2021.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in social support services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to the eligibility criteria indicating a preference for their participation. Companies focused on delivering administration and social welfare solutions, particularly those with experience in voucher schemes or financial assistance programmes, would be particularly well-positioned to engage in similar future tenders. The focus on supporting vulnerable households suggests that entities with expertise in community-oriented services could also thrive in this contracting environment.
