Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured recurring professional services for MRI software and information systems. The requirement is for specialist support connected with MRI’s software; the published description identifies the service as “MRI Recurring Professional Services (RPS)”. Delivery covers Southern Housing operations in the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, South East and South West of England. The buyer is Southern Housing, a housing organisation. The procurement is categorised as a service, specifically software and information-systems-related work (CPV 48000000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MRI Software Limited. The award was made on 29 July 2026, for £149,175. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. Southern Housing used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The original tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 13:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the award went to a supplier recorded as an SME. The published procurement information does not describe separate lots or an evaluation scoring basis.

This award shows a recurring requirement from Southern Housing for professional services supporting MRI software across a multi-region housing operation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in MRI’s software and the ability to provide reliable, ongoing professional support across the buyer’s operational footprint. The selected supplier was MRI Software Limited, so direct product knowledge and experience delivering services around the relevant systems are commercially pertinent. The route used was a framework call-off, making access to an appropriate framework and the ability to compete through its call-off process important. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller providers were considered capable of participating; scale alone was not an indicated barrier. The work is specifically tied to MRI systems rather than general IT support.
