Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes Council procured a revenues and benefits processing system, including a digital portal, Blue Badge functionality and other supporting modules. The system supports statutory processing for Housing Benefit, Council Tax Reduction, Council Tax and Business Rates, as well as income and collection for Business Improvement Districts. The work is software and related services, delivered in Milton Keynes, England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to NEC Software Solutions UK Limited on 23 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £1,313,032, with a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. The council made a direct award through the Government Commercial Agency’s Vertical Application Solutions framework, Business Applications lot. The tender submission deadline was 30 April 2026 at noon. The published information does not state the evaluation criteria.

For suppliers competing for this buyer’s future revenues and benefits requirements, credibility will depend on providing core systems that support statutory benefit and local taxation processing, alongside income collection for Business Improvement Districts. The selected solution also covers workflow, a digital portal, Blue Badge processing and supporting modules, so providers should be able to demonstrate relevant functionality across these areas. This is a substantial, multi-year business applications requirement rather than a single-purpose software purchase. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to compete, indicating that the requirement was not restricted to large suppliers; however, the successful supplier is a large company. No particular accreditation, technical standard or prior experience threshold is stated.
