Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Sutton is procuring a housing management system to support its core housing functions. The council currently uses Huume for these functions; the new arrangement is intended to maintain continuity of service. This is a software and related service requirement for the council’s housing operations, classified as administrative housing services. Delivery is in England, with the buyer based in Sutton. The system requirement is framed as a continuation of the council’s existing use of Huume rather than a new, separately described housing service. The contract was awarded to Huume Ltd.

The procurement is complete and was made by direct award. The council selected Huume Ltd, with the award dated 16 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £76,500. The contract period runs from 18 October 2026 to 17 October 2028, for two years. The process followed the expiry of the existing G-Cloud call-off’s maximum extension and was intended to ensure continuity. The tender deadline was 12 October 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the stated category is services. No separate evaluation criteria or lot structure are reported.

For suppliers considering comparable future work with Sutton, this award demonstrates demand for a housing system supporting core council housing functions and a preference here for continuity with the incumbent platform. A credible competitor would need to show that its system can cover the council’s core housing operations and that it can sustain service without disruption when replacing or continuing an existing arrangement. The council used a direct award for this purchase, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate a compelling fit with the requirement and the ability to support an established housing service. The selected supplier, Huume Ltd, is a small business, indicating that this contract’s scale was within the reach of an SME. The work is specifically housing-system provision for this buyer, rather than general software supply.
