Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council procured a software service providing a benefit calculator, affordability calculator and budgeting tool. The requirement covers the supply and provision of the calculator and budgeting functionality for the Council’s public service users. It is classified as software-related services, including software supply services. The work is for Hull City Council and is delivered in Hull. This is a digital service requirement rather than a construction, physical goods or general consultancy contract. Suppliers operating benefit entitlement, affordability assessment, budgeting or related public-facing financial support software would be the closest fit. The Council is a local authority, so relevant experience should include delivering reliable tools for public-sector users and handling potentially sensitive financial information.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Hull City Council used a limited procedure: a direct award through the CCS GCloud 14 framework, without prior publication of a competition notice. Entitledto LTD was selected as supplier, with one bid recorded. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and is active. It runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with one possible 12-month extension subject to performance and need. The estimated annual value is £12,598.02, and the total contract value including the extension option is £50,392.02. Evaluation was based on price. The process was organised as one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract remain active.

For a supplier assessing future opportunities with Hull City Council, this award demonstrates demand for a specialist digital tool combining benefit calculation, affordability assessment and budgeting support. A credible competitor would need a functioning software product that can deliver these services reliably for local-authority users, together with the ability to supply and support it as a managed public-sector service. Experience with financial calculations, budgeting workflows and clear user-facing outputs would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a public-sector technology framework such as CCS GCloud, where a direct award route may be used. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large technology integrator.
