## Summary

Staffordshire County Council has announced the award of a contract for the provision of a managed service for the cancellation of Council Tax Discounts, primarily the Single Person Discount (SPD). This 24-month contract, with an award value of £110,000, falls under the Financial Consultancy Services category and targets the West Midlands region. The procurement method used was a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract period is set from 1 October 2024 to the end of the same day. The award was made to NEC Software Solutions UK Ltd, a large-scale supplier.

This awarded contract creates significant opportunities for financial consultancy firms, particularly those experienced in managed services for tax-related processes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited to compete for similar tenders in the future, given the inclusive nature of the procurement process via the G-Cloud Framework. Companies with expertise in tax consultancy and managed services have the opportunity to leverage this contract to enhance their portfolios and foster business growth in the public sector domain.
