Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council procured housing software under the APP-Flare requirement. The purchase is classified as software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000), within the goods category. Delivery covers the United Kingdom and a wide range of other locations, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The requirement was arranged as a call-off from the BOS2 framework (RM6285). The named public-sector buyer is Sheffield City Council, based at Town Hall, Pinstone Street, Sheffield. The procurement concerns a software product or system for housing-related use, rather than construction, consultancy or physical equipment. It is therefore relevant to suppliers of housing management software and associated information systems.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct award under the BOS2 framework. The tender deadline was 15 August 2026 at 12:00. The award was made to Civica UK Ltd on 19 August 2026; the tender description records the award decision as 20 August 2026. The awarded value is £114,312. The tender record gives a contract period from 29 September 2026 to 31 October 2028, while the award gives 30 September 2026 to 31 October 2028. The evaluation route was a direct award rather than an open competition. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, although the selected supplier is Civica UK Ltd.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Sheffield City Council for a housing-focused software system delivered through the BOS2 framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a proven housing software product or information system, with the capability and capacity to support a public-sector council over a multi-year service period. Framework access or an equivalent route to market would be commercially important, because this purchase was made as a call-off and awarded directly. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller or mission-led technology providers may be relevant where they can demonstrate an appropriate product, dependable implementation and support capability.
