Details

The service will provide an independent, third‑party eligibility checking function for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF). The Provider will assess applications for Crisis Payments against national DWP guidance and locally agreed criteria, verify evidence proportionately, apply discretionary judgement where appropriate, and provide auditable eligibility decisions to support lawful, timely, and dignified crisis support. Alongside this the provider will be responsible for the delivery of financial resilience and capability services in line with DWP criteria. Hampshire County Council is therefore commissioning a specialist third-party organisation to carry out eligibility checking on its behalf, ensuring:

  • Compliance with DWP guidance
  • Fair, consistent decision-making
  • Proportionate checks that do not delay crisis support
  • Robust audit and assurance arrangements

Alongside this the specialist third-party organisation will be required to deliver:

  • Deliver financial resilience/capability and wellbeing support
  • Build individual, and community, skills and confidence in financial resilience
  • Support vulnerable people early to reduce the need for further crisis support
  • Strengthen links to wider community resilience services
  • Work with partners to report outcomes for DWP monitoring

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this financial & professional services opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
