Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited procured services for income analytics and automated customer engagement, described as a 48-month renewal for Voicescape modules. The requirement is for industry-specific software and associated services supporting the housing group’s income-related analytics and customer engagement activity. Delivery is in the North East of England. The buying organisation is Thirteen Housing Group Limited, based in Middlesbrough. This is a services requirement rather than a goods or construction procurement. The selected solution is centred on Voicescape modules, indicating a requirement for software that supports automated interactions with customers alongside analytical capabilities for income management. The scope is therefore relevant to suppliers providing customer engagement platforms, income analytics software or related implementation and support services for housing organisations.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Voicescape Limited on 3 August 2026 for £1,180,800, inclusive of the stated contract value. The contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. The requirement was described as a 48-month renewal, and the award covers the same period. Thirteen Housing Group Limited selected a single supplier. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and unsuitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award relates to services classified as industry-specific software, with evaluation conducted through the framework call-off route.

This award demonstrates established demand from Thirteen Housing Group for software combining income analytics with automated customer engagement in a housing setting. A credible future competitor would need a proven customer engagement platform, strong analytical capability for income-related activity and the ability to provide or support Voicescape-type modules. Suppliers should be able to deliver software services for a substantial, multi-year housing requirement and operate effectively through a framework call-off process. The procurement’s stated suitability for SMEs indicates that a smaller specialist technology business can be relevant, provided it can demonstrate the necessary product capability, service capacity and experience supporting a housing organisation. Businesses with complementary analytics or customer communications expertise may also be well placed if their solution can address both parts of the requirement.
