Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured housing software delivery and professional services under the title “Esuasive Housing Software Delivery & Professional Services (Epics)”. The requirement is for services supporting housing software and information systems, corresponding to CPV 48000000. Delivery covers the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, South East and South West of England. The work is relevant to suppliers providing software implementation, development, configuration, integration, technical delivery or associated professional services for housing organisations. The named buyer is Southern Housing, based in London. The requirement concerns service delivery across several English regions rather than a single site, so suppliers need to support a geographically distributed housing operation and its users.

The procurement has been completed and was awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 1 March 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 17 June 2026 to DB Group Limited, an SME, for £270,040 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. The award is active and the tender is complete. The published outcome identifies a single supplier and a single awarded value. The procurement is categorised as services, with the requirement evaluated through the framework call-off route. Southern Housing is the buying organisation and DB Group Limited is the contracted supplier.

This outcome demonstrates demand from Southern Housing for specialist housing software delivery and professional services at a substantial, multi-region scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical experience delivering software and information systems in the housing sector, together with the ability to provide professional services through a framework call-off. Relevant strengths may include implementation planning, configuration, integration, technical delivery, user support and managing work across multiple English regions. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist supplier with the required delivery capability could compete, either independently or through an appropriate framework position. Understanding Southern Housing’s operational needs and demonstrating dependable delivery across a distributed housing business would be important.
