Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Housing Ombudsman is buying continued access to Oracle Fusion Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) cloud software licences. The service supports core organisational functions, including finance, procurement and reporting. This is a software service rather than a supply of bespoke systems development or general IT support. The stated delivery postcode is PR2 0ET, in Preston. The requirement is centred on maintaining use of Oracle’s cloud-based ERP platform, so it is most relevant to suppliers able to provide or support Oracle Fusion ERP licensing and the associated cloud service. The buying organisation is the Housing Ombudsman.

The procurement is complete and Oracle Corporation UK Limited was selected for the contract. The award was made on 28 September 2026. The contract period runs from 30 October 2026 to 29 October 2029. The awarded value is £296,654.73. The Housing Ombudsman used a direct award through a framework call-off. The requirement was handled as a single procurement, with no separate lots stated. The published suitability indicators say the requirement is not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation criteria are not set out in the available process information, so the award route and selected supplier are the clearest indicators of how this purchase was concluded.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from the Housing Ombudsman for continued Oracle Fusion ERP cloud licensing to keep finance, procurement and reporting functions running. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to provide access to the Oracle Fusion platform and demonstrate the ability to sustain a business-critical cloud service over a multi-year period. The selection of Oracle Corporation UK Limited through a framework call-off indicates that suppliers need a route to supply that fits the buyer’s framework-based purchasing approach, as well as the relevant Oracle licensing capability. The scale and stated SME suitability suggest this is better matched to an established supplier with the commercial capacity to support the buyer’s core ERP environment than to a small provider offering unrelated software or general IT services.
