It provides free essential household items to those individuals/families who do not have access to sufficient income or funds to meet their immediate needs, along with help and advice in seeking additional support. The overall aim of the Service is to support people to meet their immediate needs and to help them feel more secure and live more independently in their community. The Service Provider will deliver the entire Service from the first point of contact through to the approval, provision and delivery of essential household items. This will include managing three separate strands: Strand 1: Receiving and assessing applications to the Essential Household Goods Support Scheme Strand 2: Sourcing and delivering essential household items to successful Service Users Strand 3: Supporting Service Users to seek and access additional support As the budget is limited, it is expected the Service Provider will work with the Authority, and in partnership with public, voluntary, faith and community sector organisations, to deliver an innovative, flexible and holistic service that maximises resources, manages demand and prioritises those Service Users most in need. This Specification sets out the aims, objectives and requirements of the Service, the standards and legislation that must be adhered to, and the anticipated levels of delivery that the successful Service Provider will be expected to attain during the contract period. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/15b60523-639a-4934-8c36-42cc43f02789 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | 10 Aug 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Sep 2021 | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2021 - 30 Nov 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,250,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £1,350,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LANCASHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | PRESTON | | Post town | Preston | | Postcode | PR1 8XJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD45 Mid Lancashire | | Local authority | Preston | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Preston | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SELNET | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 39000000 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 24 Sep 2021 at 08:18 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/15b60523-639a-4934-8c36-42cc43f02789 - 5 Aug 2021 at 15:12 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/77a6bde4-7871-4f11-9497-38999307455b - 19 Jul 2021 at 13:51 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/77a6bde4-7871-4f11-9497-38999307455b - 2 Jul 2021 at 08:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/77a6bde4-7871-4f11-9497-38999307455b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/15b60523-639a-4934-8c36-42cc43f02789 24th September 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/77a6bde4-7871-4f11-9497-38999307455b 5th August 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/isupplier/ Link to view tender documents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
