The requirement covers the supply and provision of the calculator and budgeting functionality for the Council’s public service users. It is classified as software-related services, including software supply services. The work is for Hull City Council and is delivered in Hull. This is a digital service requirement rather than a construction, physical goods or general consultancy contract. Suppliers operating benefit entitlement, affordability assessment, budgeting or related public-facing financial support software would be the closest fit. The Council is a local authority, so relevant experience should include delivering reliable tools for public-sector users and handling potentially sensitive financial information. The procurement has been completed and awarded. Hull City Council used a limited procedure: a direct award through the CCS GCloud 14 framework, without prior publication of a competition notice. Entitledto LTD was selected as supplier, with one bid recorded. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and is active. It runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with one possible 12-month extension subject to performance and need. The estimated annual value is £12,598.02, and the total contract value including the extension option is £50,392.02. Evaluation was based on price. The process was organised as one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract remain active. For a supplier assessing future opportunities with Hull City Council, this award demonstrates demand for a specialist digital tool combining benefit calculation, affordability assessment and budgeting support. A credible competitor would need a functioning software product that can deliver these services reliably for local-authority users, together with the ability to supply and support it as a managed public-sector service. Experience with financial calculations, budgeting workflows and clear user-facing outputs would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a public-sector technology framework such as CCS GCloud, where a direct award route may be used. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large technology integrator. ## Notice Hull City Council (the Authority) to award a contract for the provision of a benefit, affordability calculator and budgeting tool via the CCS GCloud 14 framework for a period of 3 years with one option to extend for a further 12 months subject to performance and need.
