Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "MRI Agreement" software-related services has been completed, led by Southern Housing, a prominent housing organisation based in London, England. The procurement falls under the software services category, identified by the CPV code 72260000, and will be delivered within the United Kingdom. The tender concluded with the award stage, where MRI Software Limited was selected as the successful supplier. The contract starts on 1 April 2025 and ends on 30 September 2025, with the award announced on 18 February 2026 for an amount of £290,299.50. The procurement method employed was a direct single tender action, aimed below threshold limits, making it highly relevant for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The tender was particularly suitable for SMEs due to Southern Housing's focus on inclusivity for such businesses. Key deadlines included the tender period ending on 1 March 2025.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for business growth, especially for technology firms specialising in software services. SMEs that excel in providing bespoke software solutions in the housing sector are well-suited to compete in this domain. The procurement method of single tender actions highlights the increasing opportunities for small-scale firms to directly engage in high-value contracts without extensive competition. This could serve as a pivotal point for small businesses aiming to establish themselves in collaborating with reputable organisations such as Southern Housing. By securing such contracts, businesses not only enhance their portfolio but also gain significant visibility and credibility in the industry.
