## Summary

The North Northamptonshire Council has awarded a contract for the expression of interest Household Support Fund Distribution. The procurement process was classified under health and social work services and additional community services. The tender period ended on July 18, 2022, and the contract period will run from August 1, 2022, to October 31, 2022. Potential providers have been invited to submit final tenders for the service.

This tender provides an opportunity for organisations capable of managing funds distribution to households experiencing severe financial hardship. Businesses in the health and social work services industry, particularly those experienced in providing support to vulnerable groups, are well-suited to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate in this procurement process.

## Notice

Household Support Fund 2 (HSF2) in the County of Northamptonshire is in place, via the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to provide households, within the region, financial support to mitigate increases in the cost-of-living. The DWP stipulate how each Unitary must distribute the funds within a range of household categories i.e., families with children, pensioners and households evidencing severe financial hardship. The main purpose of the EOI is to identify organisations that are capable of managing the 3rd category 'households evidencing financial hardship'. In order to meet the needs of households who are in severe financial hardship, especially regarding food and energy costs, we are looking for organisations who can operate locally for NNC in distributing HSF funds to households who evidence severe financial hardship. These funds will be issued mainly in the form of supermarket vouchers. The distribution will be in the first instance to smaller and bespoke voluntary and charitable organisations and thereafter directly to residents who meet the HSF criteria. We would like to invite Expressions of Interest for highly governed organisation for a period of 3 months to evidence capability, capacity and experience in funds distribution to the voluntary sector. This will require a management layer that is experienced in managing downstream suppliers (i.e., local voluntary organisations). Please note this is a request for formal Expression of Interest (EOI). This document does not form any part of an invitation to tender but may lead to a procurement process. Any supplier responding to this Expression of Interest is doing so to help develop a procurement process that is accessible to the market. The shortlisted providers of the expression of interest will be invited to the next stage. North Northamptonshire Council (the Council) is inviting Potential Providers who have been successful in the first stage of the procurement process to submit final tenders for the supply of services in respect of the North Northamptonshire Household Support Fund. The successful Potential Provider will be responsible for providing this service and liaising closely with the Contract Manager identified by the Council.
