- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
Newham’s wider CRF Programme will invest £1,500,000 for 27 months in community partners to deliver preventative financial support aimed at reducing repeat financial crisis. The service will provide debt advice, benefits support and income maximisation, helping to prevent homelessness, alleviate financial hardship and reduce demand for more intensive Council services. Support will be delivered through accessible, culturally appropriate community settings and will include financial resilience training for residents, alongside capacity-building for frontline staff and volunteers to identify hardship, offer early intervention and make effective referrals. An open-access referral pathway will be established, enabling both self-referrals and referrals from community organisations and local services.
