Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured a software and services agreement covering software packages and information systems, classified under CPV 48000000. The requirement is for services supporting the organisation’s software and information-systems needs rather than a works contract or supply of standalone physical goods. Delivery spans London, the East Midlands, West Midlands, South East and South West of England, so the relevant supplier market includes businesses able to support users and services across multiple English regions. Southern Housing is the buying organisation. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist software providers, systems suppliers and service businesses with the operational reach to support a housing organisation across these locations.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Southern Housing used a direct single-tender action below the threshold. Bids closed on 1 April 2024 at 12 noon, and the contract was awarded to Asprey Management Solutions Limited on 24 April 2024. The awarded value is £105,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 21 July 2024 to 20 July 2029. The award is active. The procurement information identifies services as the main category and records a five-region delivery footprint. Asprey Management Solutions Limited is the selected supplier. The published outcome therefore provides a clear reference point for the buyer’s software and associated-services purchasing route, contract scale and planned period of delivery.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the award is useful evidence that Southern Housing buys software and related services through a below-threshold single-tender route and that the requirement can suit an SME. A credible future competitor would need a clear software or information-systems offer, the ability to provide associated services rather than software alone, and sufficient delivery capacity across London, the East Midlands, West Midlands, South East and South West. Relevant experience supporting a housing organisation, dependable implementation and support arrangements, and the ability to operate across several regions would strengthen a future proposition. Businesses should also be prepared to demonstrate that their service model can meet a defined organisational requirement within a modest public-sector contract.
