Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured data quality tooling through the Aperture Data Studio service requirement. The opportunity covers software and information systems services, classified under CPV 48000000, intended to support data quality activities. Delivery spans the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, South East and South West of England. Southern Housing is the buying organisation. The requirement is categorised as a service rather than goods or works, and was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It therefore concerns suppliers able to provide data quality software tooling and associated service delivery across multiple English regions, rather than a single-site installation or a conventional construction, facilities or general professional services contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Bytes Software Services Ltd. The award date was 12 May 2026, with an awarded value of £615,451.13 including the stated GBP currency. It was run as a selective procurement and described as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 April 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 May 2031. The award is active. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £615,451.13. This was a single award to Bytes Software Services Ltd, rather than separate awards to multiple suppliers or lots.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from Southern Housing for a substantial, multi-year data quality tooling service delivered across several English regions. A credible future competitor would need to provide software or information-systems services focused specifically on data quality, with the operational capacity to support a geographically distributed housing organisation. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist suppliers may be relevant where they can demonstrate dependable delivery at this scale. Experience of supplying or supporting data quality tooling, managing implementation and ongoing service delivery, and working through framework call-offs would be commercially relevant. Suppliers should also be prepared to operate across the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, South East and South West.
