## Summary

The London Borough of Enfield has initiated a tender process titled "Provision of independent, universally accessible advice and guidance to Enfield residents." This service falls under the category of other community, social and personal services, with a total value of £1,360,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period is set to close on 11th January 2019. The contract is expected to commence on 1st June 2019 and will conclude on 31st March 2021. The service aims to support residents in managing household budgets and navigating changes in benefit entitlements, ensuring that crucial assistance is readily available within the community.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the voluntary and community sector, particularly those that are locally focused and not-for-profit. Firms that provide social services, financial advice, or counselling would be particularly suited to compete for this contract. By engaging in this tender, organisations can not only contribute to the welfare of the community but also secure funding that can enhance their operational capacity and sustainability in the long term.

## Notice

The Council is seeking bids to agree a grant-based service provision with a locally focused voluntary sector organisation/consortium* to provide independent and universally available advice and guidance to our residents. We see the provision of independent, informed and consistent support being available to our residents relating to debt counselling and the management of household budgets, supporting families and individuals through significant changes in benefit entitlement and the impacts of these changes as critical to the future growth, sustainability and strength of our communities. These services will align themselves with the services the Council offers through its own dedicated revenue and benefits support services and referrals made from both the Council and other organisations in the borough. *Enfield Council defines a 'locally focused voluntary sector organisation/consortia' as one that is based in or delivers services in Enfield, is not for profit and is a formal organisation run by a management body that include volunteers who are engaged in that activity for environmental, economic or social good.
