## Summary

Warwickshire County Council is procuring "Advice Services within Warwickshire," classified under community action programmes. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with submissions closing on 22nd November 2021. The contract, valued at £2,652,750, is designed to provide free, confidential advice services focusing on financial inclusion across the five boroughs and districts of Warwickshire. The successful provider is expected to operate within the county's boundaries and deliver tailored, socially inclusive services.

The contract may be subject to extensions, allowing businesses to secure ongoing operational partnerships that could facilitate growth and community impact.

## Notice

Warwickshire County Council (the Council) has commissioned a single provider to deliver a range of free (at the point of need), confidential, independent and impartial advice services to clients within Warwickshire, with a particular focus on financial inclusion. The service will seek to minimise the likelihood and impact of financial exclusion.

The service will be available to clients in each of the five boroughs and districts of Warwickshire (North Warwickshire, Nuneaton and Bedworth, Rugby, Warwick and Stratford-on-Avon), with access opportunities for rural and urban-based clients.
