answer text <p>The Energy Price Guarantee is supporting millions of households with rising energy costs, and the Chancellor made clear it will continue to do so from now until April next year. This is in addition to the over £37bn of cost-of-living support announced earlier this year which includes the £400 non-repayable discount to eligible households provided through the Energy Bills Support Scheme.</p><p> </p><p>For those who require additional support the government has provided an additional £500 million to help households with the cost of essentials, on top of what we have already provided since October 2021, bringing the total funding for this support to £1.5 billion. For the period October 2022-March 2023, we are providing an additional £421million to help households in England with the cost of essentials, and the devolved administrations will receive £79 million through the Barnett formula.</p><p> </p><p>Claimants can also approach their local authority to be considered for a Discretionary Housing Payment. These can be paid to those entitled to Housing Benefit or the housing element of Universal Credit who face a shortfall in meeting their rental costs.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>

answer text <p>Guidance on how contracting authorities should respond to COVID-19 was published on 18 March at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-0120-responding-to-covid-19" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-0120-responding-to-covid-19</a></p><p>Authorities are allowed to procure goods, services and works with extreme urgency in exceptional circumstances using regulation 32(2)(c) under the Public Contract Regulations 2015.</p><p>Over 1,000 contracts have been awarded to suppliers for COVID-19 related work, the majority through a direct award. There is no single consideration such as previous experience or where a company is based as to whether a supplier is added to the supply chain. The supplier will be evaluated by Departmental officials on their financial standing, compliance with minimum product specifications and ability to perform the contract. Contracts include clauses for contract management to assess performance and value for money throughout the lifetime of the contract.</p><p> </p>
