Tender description

The strategic aim of the Councils Revenues, Benefits and Welfare Service is to identify and support those households which are most vulnerable, limiting enforcement action to those who have the means to pay. The improved use of expert data and intelligence software that Ascendant Solutions Ltd can supply is essential to provide a targeted approach and offer the right help and support to both residents and businesses. The Ascendant solution is high quality and very specialist. It can provide debt segmentation to structure the support we offer residents to pay their council tax bills. The solution can also identify business poverty, knowing if a business is healthy or not, or is in risk of struggling in the future. In line with the guidance for the CCS G Cloud 14 framework, a direct award will be made to this supplier.

About the buyer

Stockton Borough Council is a local authority that advertises its tenders through the North East Procurement Organisation, or NEPO. Suppliers register free on NEPO's Open system, where the council advertises contracts and invites tenders. A contract register lists every contract the council has awarded or joined, including framework agreements. The register updates continuously as new contracts are agreed, rather than being published as a static list. Contracts above certain value thresholds require suppliers to register on the Central Digital Platform, introduced under new procurement legislation from February 2025.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Stockton Borough Council's contract awards have been in construction work, health and social work and software and information systems.
