## Summary

Sunderland City Council is seeking a contractor for the "Council Tax Single Persons Discount Review" project, which involves reviewing the entitlement of approximately 50,000 households receiving a single person discount (SPD) under Council Tax legislation. The procurement process is currently at the Award stage, with the contract value set at £172,000. The contract is expected to start on 13th September 2021 and will last until 12th September 2025. This initiative is classified under the Financial and Insurance Services category and aims to ensure fair and accurate allocation of discounts in the region of Sunderland, England.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in financial services and data analysis.

As over 38% of Sunderland's households benefit from the single person discount, successful contractors can play a crucial role in optimising local government resources while expanding their service capabilities in the public sector.
