UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council (CBC), based in Porth, UK, has recently finalised the award stage of a procurement contract titled "Low Income Family Tracker (LIFT)." This is an intelligent analytics platform designed to aid local authorities in linking data, maximising residents' income, and reducing council costs and interventions. The procurement process was a direct method, below the threshold, thus conducted without competition, and falls within the goods industry category, specifically focusing on analytical or scientific software packages and benefit services. The awarded contract, valued at £34,000 gross, runs from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. Policy in Practice, a large-scale supplier based in London, has been selected to provide these services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in analytics platforms or software development, specifically within the public sector's goods industry category. Firms adept at harnessing data for municipal operations and offering expertise in local government benefit services would find this contract advantageous for showcasing innovative solutions and expanding their client base within Welsh government frameworks. Business growth can be facilitated through collaboration with sub-central government authorities like Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC, which may seek similar future initiatives to enhance council efficiencies and resident benefits. Companies aiming to penetrate this niche market should consider aligning their offerings with the needs of local authorities seeking data-driven solutions.
