What is being bought

Published requirement description

Each District and Borough Council within Staffordshire will conduct reviews of all Council Tax reductions which are relevant to the occupancy of a property and those residents.

This will typically include;

  • All single person discounts
  • All other Council Tax discounts, which are dependant upon numbers or categories of occupiers.
  • All empty properties, including long term voids, which do not attract a reduction, or which attract premium charges.
  • All Local Council Tax Reduction (LCTR) cases, in so far as the residents occupying the household will be reviewed. Income, capital, etc will not be reviewed as a part of this project.

The Councils require the Contractor to perform a data-matching exercise, investigate any mismatches, update the Councils' systems with the results of the investigations and deal with any subsequent Council Tax payer contact.

  • Quality: 20
  • Price: 80
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 80 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework Agreement for the provision of a Council Tax Discount and…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
