## Summary

The Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council has completed the procurement process for the "Food and Energy Support Fund - Small Grant Scheme - Household Support Fund Round 7". This initiative, situated in the UKK24 region, aims to bolster support for local residents grappling with the rising costs of food and energy. As a public authority operating under sub-central government classification, the council disseminated funds through a small grants scheme directed at the voluntary and community sector. The procurement stage, now in the award phase, witnessed the Dorset Community Foundation as a key supplier. The service, classified under health and social work services, commenced on 1st April 2025 and will run until 31st March 2026, with the contract valued at £481,500 GBP.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses operating in the health and social work services sector, particularly those experienced in managing grant distribution and community support initiatives. Organisations with a focus on providing sustainable solutions to community welfare, especially in terms of energy and food security, stand to gain by participating in such government-backed initiatives. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with a robust understanding of the local community's needs, akin to the Dorset Community Foundation, would find this an advantageous avenue for growth and enhancing their service outreach within the specified geographic locale.

## Notice

The grants help local residents struggling with the costs of living, particularly relating to food and energy costs
