## Summary

West Berkshire Council successfully completed a procurement process for the "LIFT Software" project, under the legal basis of the UKPGA 2023/54. The tender was conducted through a direct procurement method without competition, as it was below the threshold. Located in Newbury, United Kingdom (Region UKJ11), the council sought services in the IT industry category, specifically focusing on software solutions that enhance data management for benefits identification. This procurement, classified as a service category, was awarded to POLICY IN PRACTICE LTD on 27th October 2025, with the contract active from 3rd November 2025 to 2nd November 2026, totalling a gross value of £45,879.60.

This award presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services and software development, particularly those with a focus on public sector solutions. SMEs adept in developing industry-specific software packages and providing support for data management systems would find this tender particularly pertinent. Given the project's aim to streamline the identification of eligible households for benefits, businesses capable of delivering intuitive dashboard interfaces and data anonymisation tools will be well-positioned to compete in similar future opportunities.

## Notice

LIFT is a software run by Policy in Practice which brings together data , anonymises it, and displays it in an easy-view dashboard. Using filters and search criteria, the dashboard can then be used to identify individuals and households who are eligible for various benefits and allowances but are not currently claiming them. Those benefits might include Pension Credit, Winter Fuel Allowance, Attendance Allowance or Free School Meals.
