Financial Assessment Tool for Housing Affordability

This procurement seeks a budget and financial assessment tool designed to help applicants evaluate property affordability and manage personal finances. The tool will serve multiple user groups including members of the public, Durham County Council (DCC) staff, and housing provider staff from the four main partners in the Durham Key Options housing scheme. The tool should enable users to assess whether properties are affordable based on their financial circumstances and provide budgeting support to help applicants make informed housing decisions. Suppliers should note that the tool must be user-friendly for non-specialist users and capable of handling diverse financial situations across a range of property types and price points.
