About

ESCC is seeking a supplier to manage its Crisis Payment Scheme funded by the Department for Work and Pensions' Crisis and Resilience Fund (1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029). The multiyear, ring-fenced grant succeeds the Household Support Fund and enables local authorities to support residents facing financial shocks and build financial resilience through a national Crisis Payment offer that is distinct from Housing Payments. National guidance requires a cash-first, needs-based approach, proportionate evidence, accessible routes, and robust management information, and ESCC is running a light-touch open tender to appoint provider(s) to operate the scheme.
