This initiative is aimed at consolidating their existing systems as part of a strategic objective to unify the Revenue and Benefits Service for both councils. Interested suppliers should submit their responses no later than 5pm on 25th August 2017, with a deadline for queries set for 5pm on 18th August 2017. The process is being managed by the Welland Procurement Unit, located in Thrapston, Kettering, NN14 4LZ, England. This market engagement exercise presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the fields of software development and IT services. Companies specialising in the development of software packages and information systems, as well as IT consulting services, would find this tender particularly relevant. By participating in this process, businesses can help shape the technical requirements and potentially position themselves favourably for future contracts once the formal procurement phase commences. ## Notice East Northamptonshire Council (ENC) and the Borough Council of Wellingborough (BCW) are seeking to consolidate their current Revenue and Benefits systems, following a strategic decision to combine the Revenue and Benefits Service across the two Councils.
