Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council focuses on the "Benefits Off-Site processing" for handling activities related to new claims and changes in circumstances.

The contract was awarded to NEC Software Solutions UK Limited, with the contract period running from 1st April 2026 to 1st October 2026.
