Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Croydon procured a cloud-based housing management system delivered as Software-as-a-Service. It is intended to support the Council’s housing operations and placements into emergency temporary accommodation, and to help ensure bookings with accommodation providers comply with contract requirements. The solution needs to work across platforms, protect data, make housing placements more efficient and provide mobile access. This is a housing software and IT services requirement, rather than the provision of accommodation itself. The Council is the buyer, and the recorded delivery address is in Croydon, United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Access UK Ltd. The Council used a restricted procedure. The award was made on 25 September 2026, with a contract value of £295,000. The contract runs from 27 September 2026 to 26 September 2031, a five-year term. The stated procurement value is also £295,000. The tender deadline was 20 August 2026. The published information identifies a single requirement and does not break it into lots. No evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements are described in the procurement details.

This award shows demand from Croydon Council for a specialist housing management SaaS platform supporting emergency temporary accommodation placements and provider-booking compliance. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate a secure, efficient platform that works across devices and platforms, supports mobile access, and can fit the Council’s housing processes. Credibility would depend on more than supplying software: the solution must help manage placements and provide effective controls around contractual compliance for accommodation bookings. Experience delivering and supporting comparable housing systems for public-sector operations would be relevant, alongside the capacity to maintain a dependable service over a multi-year contract. The selected supplier’s success indicates that a complete software service aligned to these operational needs is the relevant competitive proposition.
