Currently in the planning stage, interested suppliers are invited to a pre-market engagement session on 4th August 2022 from 14:00 to 15:30 via MS Teams, where they can learn more about the project. Suppliers must RSVP by 29th July 2022, and the initiative involves collaboration through a Crown Commercial Framework. The procurement falls under the category of services, specifically treasury services. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in grant administration and services for vulnerable households. Companies that have experience in handling public funds, developing customer application systems, and implementing fraud prevention measures will be particularly well-suited to compete. As this project focuses on urgent winter bill payments, suppliers with a strong understanding of the social support landscape and efficient fund distribution methods will likely find this tender to be a fitting avenue for growth. ## Notice *Please note this is not a call for competition, this is a PIN notice for a BEIS requirement. * The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) wishes to commission work to distribute small grants to households. This work would support an ongoing scheme and would be to reach households across Great Britain which do not have a domestic electricity meter and a direct relationship with an electricity supplier. This would include park homes paying a site owner, properties on a private electricity network, those not connected to the electricity network, etc. In order to achieve this outcome BEIS are looking for a potential delivery partner who would be able to distribute funds to households in line with the policy. We have examined similar schemes such as the Park Homes Warm Home Discount but we would be interested in hearing of other similar approaches. An appropriate delivery partner for this scheme would be suitable to handle public money and distribute it to households who do not have a domestic electricity meter and a direct relationship with an electricity supplier. We expect this to involve the creation of a customer application system in accordance with policy guidelines and to collect proof that the residents meet the eligibility criteria laid out by the policy and to undertake suitable fraud prevention. Once eligible households have been identified the delivery body would need to distribute the funds in an appropriate fashion (BACs, cheques, vouchers, etc) and to monitor and report on the amounts of funds being dispersed, applications received, etc. Given the time constraints of this project as the intention of the grant is to assist with winter bill payments we would prefer to use a business partner through a Crown Commercial Framework, the CCS Grants Framework is a DPS framework and can be onboarded onto. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019925-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Sep 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ENERGY AND INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0ET | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 66600000 - Treasury services - 75000000 - Administration, defence and social security services - 75130000 - Supporting services for the government - 75131000 - Government services - 75131100 - General personnel services for the government ## Release History - 21 Jul 2022 at 15:05 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019925-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://www.delta-esourcing.com - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/viewNotice.html?noticeId=707689325 - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-business-energy-and-industrial-strategy ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
