Leicestershire County Council invites tenders for the provision of a service to provide good quality refurbished (and where agreed graded/new) furniture and goods and/or services ordered by the Council or an Accredited Partner (including District Councils and Voluntary and Community organisations). The Service will provide ordered goods to people in hardship and crisis (to enable people to move out of temporary accommodation, access tenancies etc.) and comprises a key element of the Signposting and Community Support Service (SCSS). The SCSS also provides emergency short-term food and fuel support and services focused on debt and money management advice that contribute to longer-term preventative support.

The reasons for people needing support include benefits sanctions and delayed payments, budgetary and debt problems, homelessness, crime and domestic abuse.
