Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Orwell Housing Association Ltd commissioned security for its on-premises servers and protection for end-user devices. This is a software security and related services requirement, covering both server protection and end-user protection. The work is associated with delivery in Ipswich, England. The procurement was made as a call-off from a framework for software products and associated services, rather than as a standalone purchase. The selected supplier, Phoenix Software Ltd, is a software supplier. The requirement is relevant to providers able to supply and support server security and endpoint protection for a housing association.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Phoenix Software Ltd on 5 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £81,826. The one-year contract runs from 9 October 2026 to 9 October 2027. It was a call-off from a framework agreement, with the procurement description stating that call-offs under the framework can be made by direct award or further competition. The tender deadline was 28 February 2024 at 5pm. The published details describe an open procedure for the framework, while this procurement used a selective method. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the information provided.

This award shows that Orwell Housing Association buys protection for on-premises servers alongside end-user security through a software-products framework. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement should be able to provide both server security and endpoint protection, and to deliver these as a coherent service rather than as unrelated products. Familiarity with framework call-offs is commercially relevant: the framework permits direct awards or further competition, so suppliers need to be positioned to meet its terms and respond to the route used. The selected supplier is a large software company, indicating that a competitor should be able to demonstrate credible capacity to supply and support the combined security requirement for a housing association.
