DWF advises Westmorland and Furness Council on new Revenues and Benefits system

DWF advised Westmorland and Furness Council on the procurement and award of a new Revenues and Benefits system. The Council carried out the procurement as a further competition under the Crown Commercial Service’s Vertical Application Solutions Framework (RM6259). The contract will replace existing IT systems from the former Barrow, Eden and South Lakeland Councils with a single, cloud-hosted system operating across the entire Westmorland and Furness area.

Charlotte Ganz, Director in DWF's Commercial and Public Sector team, said the firm was proud to have supported Westmorland and Furness Council on a strategically important and transformative IT procurement that will improve services across the region. Vicky McDonald, Senior Manager for Revenues & Benefits at Westmorland and Furness Council, said awarding a single contract for a fit-for-purpose, cloud-hosted system had been a key aim of the Council's Revenues and Benefits Harmonisation Project and thanked DWF for their support.
