Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Low Income Family Tracker Dashboard" project was managed by Brighton and Hove City Council, a public authority under the sub-central government classification. The contract was awarded to POLICY IN PRACTICE LTD and focuses on the goods category within the software and information systems industry. This initiative utilises intelligent data analytics software to support local authorities in enhancing income and reducing the costs for low-income families by targeting welfare support services. The procurement, initiated through a direct award from the G-Cloud 14 Framework, was completed on 31st March 2026. Located in the United Kingdom (Hove), the project covers the UKJ region and holds an active status, with a contract period from 31st March 2026 to 30th March 2027, having potential renewals up to 2029.

Businesses focusing on software development, particularly those specialising in data analytics or welfare support systems, are prime candidates for similar opportunities. The project represents a lucrative avenue for SMEs aiming to extend their service offerings in public sector contracts without necessitating above-threshold procurement, facilitating a smoother entry into government contracts. Companies equipped with the technological capabilities to develop platforms for financial and social support analysis could leverage such opportunities for growth, establishing themselves as key players in the public sector technology landscape.
