This initiative falls under the services category and aims to address general public services related to financial health. The tender was initiated on 10 August 2018 and the submission deadline is set for 20 September 2018. Successful bidders will be expected to deliver services from 1 January 2019 until 31 December 2022, with a contract value of £200,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, enabling broad competition. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial advisory services, particularly those with experience in supporting low-income individuals and managing debt-related issues. Companies that can offer tailored financial support and have a solid understanding of applicable benefits and financial management would be particularly well-suited to compete. Given the localised focus on the Shetland community, businesses familiar with rural service delivery and capable of providing accessible face-to-face and remote support will be at a competitive advantage. ## Notice Shetland Islands Council is procuring a service providing Financial Health advice and support to vulnerable individuals in Shetland who are in debt or at risk of falling into debt as a result of low income. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Council is procuring the delivery of a Financial Health Service to support individuals, particularly those on a low income, with tailored support to manage their debt, ensure they are getting all the benefits they are entitled to and develop their capacity to manage their monthly household budget. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC340646 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 20 Sep 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 6 Dec 2018 | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2019 - 31 Dec 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000 | | Lots value | £200,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £200,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHETLAND ISLANDS COUNCIL | | Locality | LERWICK | | Post town | Lerwick | | Postcode | ZE1 0HB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Shetland Islands | | Electoral ward | Lerwick North and Bressay | | Westminster constituency | Orkney and Shetland | | Delivery location | TLM66 Shetland Islands | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SHETLAND ISLANDS CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community ## Release History - 18 Dec 2018 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC340646 - 10 Aug 2018 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG327824 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG327824&idx=3 16th August 2018 - European Single Procurement Document ESPD (Scotland) Version 1.11 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG327824&idx=6 16th August 2018 - European Single Procurement Document ESPD (Scotland) Version 1.11 (Including OJEU Reference) - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG327824&idx=1 13th August 2018 - Covering Letter - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG327824&idx=2 13th August 2018 - Invitation To Tender: Provision of a Financial Health Service - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG327824&idx=4 13th August 2018 - Bank Reference Mandate Form - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG327824&idx=5 13th August 2018 - Tender Submission Checklist - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG327824 Provision of a Financial Health Service - Shetland Islands Council is seeking to procure a service providing Financial Health advice and support to vulnerable individuals in Shetland who are in debt or at risk of falling into debt as a result of low income. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC340646 Provision of a Financial Health Service - Shetland Islands Council is procuring a service providing Financial Health advice and support to vulnerable individuals in Shetland who are in debt or at risk of falling into debt as a result of low income. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.shetland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000552723 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
