What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Provider will offer a free to access, financially related, Universal Information and Advice

service that is available to all residents of Cheshire East. The service will be accessible

through a number of channels including face to face, telephone, email and online. As

residents are regularly presenting with complex needs that cover multiple issues, there will

be a clear single pathway to access the service to ensure that residents needs are assessed

appropriately.

Following initial contact, the Provider will assess the resident’s issue(s) and if the issue is

straightforward and can be dealt with during the initial contact they should do so, if not they

will then offer further appointments to provide more time to resolve the resident’s issue(s).

Referrals received from referring partners will need to be triaged and prioritised to support

those in greatest need first.
