## Summary

The public procurement process initiated by West Suffolk Council involves a contract titled "LIFT (Low Income Financial Tracker) Project", classified under the services industry in the guidance services category. Located in Bury St Edmunds, United Kingdom, this contract has reached the award stage, with a direct procurement method occurring below the competition threshold. The procurement process entails commissioning the Suffolk West Citizens Advice Bureau to create a part-time LiFT Caseworker role. This role will support local residents with guidance and form completion for attendance allowances. The contract period spans from 1 April 2026 to 1 March 2028, marking a key date for suppliers to note.

This tender offers business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in public sector services and those with expertise in advocacy and support roles. With the contract awarded to a large-scale VCSE, social enterprises focusing on local government partnerships and community support may find this opportunity appealing as it aligns with providing comprehensive social services. Suppliers with skills in facilitating administrative tasks for residents and involvement in governmental campaigns will be well-suited to collaborate with organisations like West Suffolk Council in future procurements. The emphasis on supportive guidance and comprehensive service delivery presents a growth area for businesses aiming to expand their reach in community-focused services.
