Welfare services not delivered through residential institutions. Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) is working on behalf of Leicestershire County Council (the Council) to manage a procurement process to appoint a service provider for the management of the Leicestershire Welfare Provision scheme. This is a function which the government has requested local authorities to provide, offering emergency assistance (financial and non-financial) to eligible individuals. The main objective is for the provision of a service that assesses applications in accordance to the eligibility criteria and arranges fulfillment as appropriate. The service is also responsible for identifying the underlying needs of applicants and referring them to appropriate third party support. . The service needs to be accessible by the entire population of Leicestershire via telephone and the internet. The service will require ICT software that can receive and assess applications and then use the information to identify appropriate immediate items/ payment that meet the needs of the applicant. The Council envisages a service which, whilst meeting the requirement to efficiently process applications, will manage the welfare fund available and address applicants' needs in a more sustainable way. So whilst acknowledging that the solution includes an ICT element, the Council expects the appointed service provider (either directly or via partner organisations) to offer applicants appropriate referral and signposting to other sources and types of assistance, including that available from community organisations. A single service provider will be appointed to provide the above services along with the hosted ICT system. The initial project would also involve implementation of the service and data migration from the current ICT system. The Contract shall be for an initial period of 12 months with the option to extend for a further two periods of 12 months at the sole discretion of the Council and subject to continued funding being available from Central Government.
