## Summary

The procurement process is led by Cheshire East Council, which is coordinating an initiative to provide an Affordable Warmth Advice Service across the North West of England, specifically targeting residents vulnerable to fuel poverty. The tender, titled "18 170 - Affordable Warmth Advice Service," is classified under the CPV code for community service provision. This project has a total contract value of £249,017 and commenced on 1st April 2019, with the contract set to run until 31st December 2021. The procurement method used is an open procedure, with the tender period having ended on 20th February 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on community services, particularly those that offer guidance and counselling support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, given the emphasis on providing tailored advice and support to vulnerable households. Companies that specialise in energy efficiency, social care, or community engagement are particularly encouraged to explore potential partnerships or contract opportunities stemming from this project.

## Notice

Cheshire East Council, in collaboration with Cheshire West and Chester Council, Warrington Borough Council and Halton Borough Council, has secured funding from the Warm Homes Fund launched by Affordable Warmth Solutions (AWS). Our successful proposal is to deliver an Affordable Warmth Advice Service across Cheshire, to support residents who are vulnerable to fuel poverty to improve the affordability of heating their home. As part of a separate but complementary project, the Councils have also secured funding from the Warm Homes Fund to install first time gas central heating systems to fuel poor households. The Affordable Warmth Advice Service is targeted at the most vulnerable private sector residents at risk of fuel poverty and at risk of poor health and wellbeing due to low income, cold homes and lack of access to help, support and services. The emphasis of the project is on providing face to face information, tailored advice and support to vulnerable households about all aspects of meeting their energy needs more effectively through community events and home visits. Cheshire East Council is the lead bidder and accountable body for the funded project, and is acting on behalf of its partners in undertaking this procurement
