Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Cambridge Housing Society Limited procured software and services to support its handling of GDPR subject access requests. The requirement covered redaction software, document searching and sifting, deduplication, and a web-hosted application for clients to access and use. The work is delivered in the East of England. This is a specialist combination of information-governance software and document-processing support, intended to help the housing society manage subject access requests.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Softcat Plc. The award date was 30 June 2026, and the contract runs from 30 June 2026 to 30 June 2032. The awarded value is £57,368. The society used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 15 June 2026. The requirement was classified as a service, and small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. The available outcome identifies the successful supplier but provides no specific evaluation criteria or lot breakdown.

For suppliers competing for this buyer’s future requirement, the award indicates demand for an integrated solution rather than redaction software alone: credible providers need to support document searching, sifting and deduplication, alongside a secure web-hosted client application. Relevant experience in GDPR subject access request workflows and the practical handling of sensitive documents would help demonstrate fit. The buyer selected a large supplier through a framework call-off, so framework access and the ability to deliver the software and supporting services together are relevant commercial strengths. The scale is a multi-year service for a housing organisation, with SMEs identified as suitable; a smaller provider could therefore be credible if it can evidence the necessary technical capability and sustained service delivery.
