Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Housing Inspections Software 2024-27" tender, managed by Folkestone and Hythe District Council, has reached the award stage as of 19th September 2024. This contract revolves around the direct award of a cloud-based software package designed for housing property inspections, classified under industry-specific software packages (CPV 48100000). Operating within the South East region of the United Kingdom, the contract is set for a period from 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2027, with the total contract value amounting to £28,512 GBP. Folkestone is the central location for this contract, and HouseMark Ltd has been awarded as the supplier, indicating active engagement with the buyer, the district council.

This tender provides businesses specialising in software development, particularly those with expertise in housing and property management applications, with the opportunity to expand their market reach and establish credibility in the public sector. Although the procurement method was a direct award, businesses in this industry should research potential collaboration or subcontracting opportunities with HouseMark Ltd to benefit from this contract. While SMEs and VCSEs were not deemed suitable for direct participation in this specific procurement process, the project represents a significant investment by a local council, signalling robust demand for innovative and efficient service delivery solutions in the public housing sector.
