Description
Wigan Council wishes to establish a contract for the provision of welfare benefit, information and debt advice services across the borough. The contract will be for a period of 3 years with two separate 12-month contract extensions. Therefore, potentially a 5-year contract term (if extension clause exercised). The service will commence on 1st April 2024 and the successful bidder will be required to provide advice and support to residents aimed at maximising income and reducing debt and homelessness. The services should be easily accessible across the borough and deliver positive outcomes including increased income for the council and a reduction in demand for public services. The service is required to support our Deal 2030 priorities and address issues linked to the cost-of-living crisis and any future economic challenges. It should provide independent and impartial advice that is efficient and effective in preventing and reducing the problems faced by residents in relation to, but not limited to: • benefits • debt • employment • health and social care • housing • immigration
