Hampshire County Council is seeking a specialist third-party provider to deliver independent eligibility checking for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) and to provide financial resilience and capability services in line with DWP criteria. 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 deliver auditable eligibility decisions to support lawful, timely, and dignified crisis support. Alongside eligibility checking the provider will 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, and work with partners to report outcomes for DWP monitoring.
