The Council is seeking to commission a preventative, community-embedded money education and early intervention model, delivered by the Voluntary, Community Faith, Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector.

The model will focus on financial education and resilience, money confidence, and early identification of financial risk, supporting residents before problems escalate into unmanageable debt or crisis, and before statutory or specialist debt advice models (e.g. Citizens Advice) are required.

The service to be delivered falls under Light Touch contracts with the estimated contract value below the relevant threshold and is therefore treated as a below-threshold contract in accordance with Part 6 of the Act.

The Council recognises that VCFSE organisations are well placed to deliver trusted, accessible and culturally appropriate education within communities and wishes to commission a model that aligns with our neighbourhood networks, is embedded locally, partnership-led, and prevention-focused.

The Council is taking into account PPN 005: Reserving below threshold procurement; this tender is reserved for VCSEs and SMEs within the Borough of Barking and Dagenham.

The Home, Settle and Support service provides short-term, practical support to vulnerable residents following a hospital stay, Emergency Department presentation, or where they are at risk of hospital admission from the community. 

The service supports timely and safe discharge, helps people regain confidence and independence at home, reduce loneliness and social isolation as well as prevent avoidable readmissions. Support is tailored to individual need and normally provided for a short period, up to a maximum of four weeks, with clear signposting and warm handovers into relevant community and voluntary sector services.

We are inviting the market to help us develop our future iteration of the service through shared experience, best practice and innovation.
