## Summary

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council has initiated a direct award procurement process for the "Crisis payments scheme - Crisis Resilience Fund," aimed at helping eligible households in financial distress. Operating under the UKPGA legal basis 2023/54, this contract is valued at £2,872,500 GBP and will run from 3rd July 2026 until 30th April 2029. Located in the UKK24 region, the procurement focuses on health, social work, and other community services. The Council opted for a direct award due to urgent requirements and delays in Government funding, ensuring immediate support for community needs. The procurement stage is in the award phase, having been signed on 19th June 2026.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in community, social, and health services to engage with local government and expand their portfolio. Particularly suitable for large organisations like Citizens Advice BCP—which has been named the supplier due to their current performance and local involvement—this contract is also open to SMEs and VCSEs due to the light-touch regime. Companies in the specified service categories can expect growth opportunities through delivering essential support services, thereby enhancing their presence in the public sector.
