Summary of the contracting process

St Albans City and District Council procured data compliance and assurance software as a service for managing housing electrical compliance and maintenance across its property portfolio. The requirement covers software and information systems supporting the Council’s housing compliance activities. The work is delivered across the Council’s property portfolio in the South East of England. This is a public-sector housing compliance technology requirement, relevant to suppliers providing platforms for managing electrical safety records, maintenance activity, assurance processes and associated property data. The buyer is St Albans City and District Council, based in St Albans. The procurement is classified under CPV 48000000, covering software packages and information systems, and its main category is services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 18 May 2026 at 5:00pm, and the contract was awarded on 22 May 2026 to The Compliance Workbook Ltd. The awarded contract value is £54,300 GBP. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 1 September 2029. The requirement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The available evaluation information identifies a framework call-off procedure; detailed award criteria are not stated. The award is active and relates to the full software requirement rather than separately identified lots.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from St Albans City and District Council for software that supports housing electrical compliance and maintenance across a property portfolio. Competitors seeking similar work with this buyer would need a credible compliance and assurance platform, rather than a general-purpose system alone. Relevant capability includes maintaining accurate property and electrical-safety records, tracking inspections and maintenance, managing compliance actions, producing assurance information and giving housing teams usable oversight of portfolio-wide performance. Suppliers should also be able to deliver and support a service through a public-sector framework call-off route. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that a specialist smaller technology provider can meet the requirement. Evidence of reliable implementation, data handling, user support and experience in housing compliance software would strengthen a future proposition.
