In plain English
Wokingham Borough Council wants a provider to support residents facing financial hardship or crisis by giving them essential items to meet urgent needs. The estimated value is £20,000. The provider would also need to help people access other support that is relevant to them.
What the buyer wants

Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific qualifications, certifications or experience, but it involves direct support to vulnerable residents and ongoing joint working with other services, so a business without experience of delivering community or welfare support may find it difficult to compete.
