Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured software licensing and support for its Esuasive housing software. This is a business-to-business software service covering the provision and ongoing support of a housing management information system, rather than a works or product supply contract. The requirement is classified under software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). Delivery spans Southern Housing’s operations in the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, South East and South West of England. The buying organisation is Southern Housing, based in London. The opportunity is therefore relevant to software publishers, housing technology providers, framework suppliers and specialist support partners able to provide and maintain software used across a geographically distributed housing organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Southern Housing awarded the contract to DB Group Limited on 17 June 2026. The awarded value is £490,680. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. The tender submission deadline was 1 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the awarded contract covers the full stated requirement for Esuasive housing software licensing and support. The published outcome records one supplier and one awarded value; no separate lot values or alternative awards are identified.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for housing software licensing and support across a large, multi-region housing organisation. For a future procurement of the same requirement, credible suppliers would need a housing-sector software platform that can support Southern Housing’s operational needs, together with the capability to license, implement or maintain it and provide dependable ongoing technical support. Suppliers should be able to serve users across the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, South East and South West, and manage service delivery consistently across those locations. The procurement route also indicates that framework access or a framework partner relationship can be commercially important. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller software providers and specialist support businesses with sufficient delivery capacity.
