## Summary

The Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk has completed a public procurement process titled "Advice and Information Services," aimed at supplying free advice and information services to the residents of King's Lynn and West Norfolk. This procurement involved two Lots, specifically targeting Debt Management and Income Maximisation, and Housing and Homelessness-related issues, classified under social work services without accommodation (CPV Code: 85312000). The open procurement method was employed, with the tender period concluding on 28 June 2019, and the awarded contract being valued at £320,000. The contract, which commenced on 1 July 2019, is scheduled to run until 30 June 2022.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that provide social services, especially in areas related to debt management, housing, and homelessness support. Businesses equipped with expertise in social work services or those that have experience in providing community support and advice are particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts. The engagement with the local council not only allows for expansion into public service contracts but also enhances the firm’s reputation within the community, ultimately driving business growth.
