Council Tax Review Software

Notice Description

A fully managed Council Tax bulk review service to be provided by the supplier to help reclaim funds that have been fraudulently claimed or where a resident has forgotten to notify Gateshead Council of a change in circumstances.

Lot Information

Lot 1

A fully managed Council Tax bulk review service to be provided by the supplier to help reclaim funds that have been fraudulently claimed or where a resident has forgotten to notify Gateshead Council of a change in circumstances.

Procurement Information

No other providers who are able to provide both the managed service and range of reviews that we need to maximise council tax income to the Council. A full procurement exercise would not result in another provider being identified who would be able to match the service provided by Datatank, it would also jeopardise the potential of generating and successful collection of additional council tax income within the current 2022-23 financial year.
