## Summary

Somerset West and Taunton Council is currently seeking bids for the tender titled "Provision of Money and Debt Advice Service - Housing," aiming to provide essential money management and debt solutions to support local residents in the South West of the United Kingdom. This tender, valued at £80,000, is in the planning stage and is set to close on 24 November 2021, with the contract expected to commence on 13 December 2021 and run until 30 April 2023. The services required fall under the category of community, social and personal services, with an emphasis on delivering support related to housing circumstances affected by the Hinkley Point C (HPC) workforce.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) focusing on social services and debt management solutions. By participating in this procurement, businesses that specialise in financial advice and community support can not only contribute to alleviating local housing issues but also establish themselves as key players in a growing market driven by the need for sustainable community financial services.

## Notice

The Authority is seeking to recruit the services of a contractor to provide a personalised money management and advice service which helps people to acquire and/or maintain tenure, and which delivers support and practical solutions relating to their circumstances, including debts. The overarching purpose of the initiative will be to help mitigate the negative impacts on the housing market of the Hinkley Point C (HPC) workforce, by equipping local people with money and debt solutions to make them more attractive to landlords, able to maintain tenure for a longer term, and less vulnerable to homelessness.
