## Summary

Pendle Borough Council has recently completed a procurement process for the "Crisis Payment Scheme" under the Crisis & Resilience Fund programme. This scheme aims to provide urgent financial support to residents in Nelson, UKD46, United Kingdom, who are facing immediate hardships such as food and fuel poverty, or emergencies like floods and domestic abuse situations. The procurement was handled as a direct award due to the urgency of implementation, with Citizens Advice East Lancashire appointed as the supplier. The contract was signed on 1st June 2026, with a total value amounting to £404,000, running from this date until 1st March 2027.

This tender represents significant opportunities for organisations experienced in community and social services. Although the procurement followed a direct award due to the unique capability of the selected supplier, similar future opportunities could arise for service providers adept at managing emergency response programmes and financial resilience initiatives. Medium to large-scale organisations specialising in human services, as well as SMEs that cater to these sectors, would be well-positioned to compete in similar procurements by showcasing innovative support solutions and effective delivery capabilities. This is particularly relevant for businesses located within or around the Lancashire region, providing services under sub-central government authority needs.
