Description

Gloucestershire County Council is tendering for a single provider (or lead provider) framework to distribute food vouchers, utility vouchers, emergency payments and other support where funding has been made available and needs speedy, safe distribution within a fixed timescale. There is no guarantee of business through the framework and business will be dependent on the availability of funding made available to, or by GCC for needs within the scope of the framework. Through establishing the framework, GCC is seeking a mechanism that should funding become available, we can quickly and safely ensure the funds reach those eligible.

We expect potential contractors to meet a number of minimum standards; these are detailed in the ITT. We advise all interested contractors to read the entire ITT and all documents referenced or linked to within the ITT carefully, to inform themselves about the opportunity and whether they would be interested in submitting a response. Deadline for submitting a tender response: 3rd May 2022 at 10am. Please login to Procontract via www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk and register your interest in the opportunity. All questions related to this contract should be sent using the discussions function which will be available once you have logged in and registered your interest.
