520 - Local Welfare Provision: Furniture Packages

Wigan Council · compiled

Tender information last checkedLast checked 29 Sept 2026, 20:50.

Opportunity overview

Our residents continue to be affected by the Welfare Reform agenda and the rising cost of living, so co-ordination of information and advice is key to responding to the challenging range of issues facing our residents. The Domestic Relief Furniture Packages provision forms part of Wigan’s wider Welfare Offer and along with the Welfare Benefits, Information and Debt Advice Service will support our codesigned Financial Wellbeing Plan as such they are intrinsically linked. We would like to identify one or multiple organisations to deliver and sustain a furniture service for crisis furniture referrals without the reliance of future funding. Delivering a service through this contract which seeks to be not reliant on Council funding in the future will form part of the evaluation and scoring criteria of submissions.
