## Summary

Perth & Kinross Council is conducting a procurement process entitled "Award of Council Tax - Single Occupancy Discount Review PKC11063", falling under the services industry category. The procurement, which is currently in the Award stage, involves the review of approximately 25,000 recipients of a single occupancy discount to ensure accuracy and compliance with audit requirements. The tender period commenced on 2nd March 2020 and concluded on 28th February 2022. The awarded contract has a value of £15,000 and is for a 12-month period, with an option for a further year of extension.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in data verification, credit information, and occupancy assessments. Companies that offer services related to audit compliance, fraud detection, and record verification would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with this opportunity could enable businesses to expand their market presence and establish long-term relationships with local government entities.

## Notice

Perth & Kinross Council's Local Taxes team is seeking to review all recipients of a single occupancy discount to satisfy audit requirements, identify any potential fraud and ensure the accuracy of our records. Currently approximately 25,000 (34%) of the dwellings within the Perth & Kinross Council area are in receipt of a single occupancy discount.In order to minimise the scope of the review, the Local Taxes team are looking to engage an external supplier who can provide confirmation, through access to such channels as credit information, electoral roll information and other appropriate sources of information, that a given dwelling appears to be occupied by only one adult. This would allow the Local Taxes team to focus only on cases where there is doubt as to the ongoing entitlement to a single occupancy discount.
