## Summary

The Money Advice Service (MAS) is currently seeking tenders for the "Car Cost Data Tool" project, with a focus on enhancing a digital tool used to inform customers about the total costs associated with car ownership. This tender falls under the services category and is classified under the CPV code 48000000, which pertains to software packages and information systems. The procurement process is open and active, with submissions due by 23:59 on 12 November 2018. The contract period is anticipated to begin on 1 February 2019 and last until 31 January 2022. The delivery address for the tender is located in London, United Kingdom, and the total budget allocated for this initiative is £105,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in software development, particularly those capable of providing off-the-shelf solutions that can be custom-branded for the MAS website. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) stand to benefit most from this opportunity as MAS actively encourages participation from this sector. Companies with expertise in developing user-friendly digital tools that facilitate customer comparisons would be well-positioned to compete effectively in this process, making it an excellent prospect for growth in the UK's software service industry.

## Notice

The Money Advice Service (MAS) currently operates a Car Running Costs tool on its website. It's purpose is to encourage customers to consider the full cost of running a given car before making a purchase decision. This is not a revenue or lead generating tool. MAS is interested in procuring a replacement for this tool that features an enhanced feature set - specifically to facilitate easier comparison, to support customers at earlier stages of the car-buying journey, and to reduce the rate at which no data is returned. MAS is not able to fund a full bespoke tool build so we are looking for an off-the-shelf tool that fulfills this customer need which can be white-labelled and used on the MAS website.
