## Summary

Liverpool City Council has completed a procurement process to provide supermarket vouchers for vulnerable families from October 2024 to March 2025. The procurement falls under the Miscellaneous services category and is focused on families eligible for the Household Support Grant in England, United Kingdom. The total contract value is £1,595,760, and the contract was awarded to Blackhawk Network EMEA Ltd through a direct award process. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 16th October 2024 and contract commencement on 28th October 2024, running until 27th October 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the distribution and management of supermarket vouchers, particularly those experienced in working with local councils and social support grants. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete in such tenders, given their eligibility and the potential to build long-term relationships with public sector entities. Organisations like Blackhawk Network EMEA Ltd, which specialise in large scale voucher systems, stand to gain considerable growth by engaging in contracts of this nature.
