Summary of the contracting process

South Kesteven District Council procured a continuous single-person discount review service. The work involves collecting and collating data to support the council’s review of discounts applied to council tax accounts where only one person is resident. It is a services requirement delivered in the UK, with the council’s procurement function based in Grantham. The requirement was organised as one completed lot and concerns an ongoing operational review rather than a one-off data exercise. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are those providing public-sector data collection and collation services, particularly where their work can support the checking, maintenance and review of resident or account information for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Infoshare+ Limited and Datatank Limited were named as suppliers for the single lot. The contract was signed on 17 March 2025 and runs from 1 November 2025 to 31 March 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions and a maximum end date of 31 March 2030. Its value is £42,975 excluding VAT and £51,570 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The evaluation basis is therefore the council’s direct-award decision rather than a competitive tender. The contract was later subject to a change recorded on 1 September 2025.

This procurement indicates recurring local-authority demand for outsourced single-person discount review and associated data collection and collation. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate that it can handle continuous review activity accurately and consistently, organise and collate information at operational scale, and provide outputs that a council can use when checking discount eligibility and maintaining account records. Experience of delivering data-led services for councils or other public bodies would be relevant, as would clear controls for data quality, confidentiality and reliable service continuity. The appointed suppliers include SMEs, showing that the requirement can be delivered by focused specialist businesses rather than only large national contractors. The key commercial fit is dependable public-sector data processing aligned to council tax administration.
