Co-ordinating Bulky Waste Collections and Local Welfare Provision within a Local Authority Setting

Oldham Council provides many services to serve the residents of the borough, 2 of which are a bulky waste collection service and the Local Welfare Provision (LWP) scheme.

The bulky waste collection service is a statutory duty collecting from domestic households in Oldham and the LWP scheme is to provide support to meet short term emergency/immediate supports needs of vulnerable residents and also to assist vulnerable residents to establish or maintain a home in the community by the provision of white goods and furniture.

The Council wish to combine these 2 contracts and offer residents a holistic service offer. Further details can be found in the procurement documents published on the eprocurement portal the Chest - https://www.the-chest.org.uk/.
