## Summary

The Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is conducting a procurement titled "Revenues and Benefits Application Form Functionality". This initiative falls under the services category, specifically focusing on application service providers, and is located in Oldbury, West Midlands. The procurement is at the award stage, with an active contract awarded on 30th November 2021, amounting to £34,000 GBP. The contract period is set to commence from 1st December 2021 and will last until 30th November 2025. This tender was initiated as a call-off from the G Cloud Framework, aimed at streamlining grant applications and Test and Trace payments during the ongoing demands presented by the Covid-19 pandemic.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the technology and software development sectors, particularly those focused on digital solutions for public service applications. Companies capable of delivering online platforms that can facilitate grant applications and automate administrative processes would be well-suited to compete in this space. With the ongoing potential for further public sector contracts aimed at addressing post-pandemic challenges, interested suppliers should consider engaging with the Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council to explore future opportunities.

## Notice

Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic the Revenues and Benefits Service has been responsible for administering many of the government's schemes and initiatives designed to provide financial support to individuals and businesses. The demand on the service has been great and has stretched resources throughout what has become a very difficult period. During the pandemic the service has been responsible for awarding the various grants available to businesses as well as test and trace payments which we are committed to pay until 31st March 2022. In addition to this the service has been informed that it is also now responsible for administering the new Household Support Grant effective from 1st October 2021 to 31st March 2022. It is currently not known if there will be a need to administer other similar grants or award schemes associated with life after Covid but it is prudent for the service to prepare for such eventualities. An online platform is required which allow businesses or individuals to apply for grants and Test and Trace payments, taking the administrative burden away from the service itself. Additional information: This is a call off from the G Cloud Framework.
