Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Orbit Group Limited procured a housing management software solution with ongoing support. The requirement covers software packages and information systems, including the continuing support needed to operate the housing management system. The work is for Orbit Group Limited and is delivered in Coventry, England. The procurement is classified as goods, although the requirement combines a software product with ongoing support services. It was made through the housing, environmental and planning solutions section of the GCA RM6259 framework, indicating a requirement aligned with established public-sector housing management systems rather than a bespoke standalone software development project. The selected solution is intended to support the buyer’s housing management operations throughout the contract period.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to MIS Active Management Systems Limited on 11 May 2026. The award value is £2,914,995, including the option of three further one-year extensions. The contract period runs from 25 May 2026 to 24 May 2028. The route was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically GCA RM6259, Vertical Application Solutions Lot 3: Housing, Environmental and Planning Solutions. The tender submission deadline was 1 May 2026. The award is active, and Orbit Group Limited is the buyer. The published outcome identifies MIS Active Management Systems Limited as the sole awarded supplier. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For suppliers assessing future housing technology requirements, this award demonstrates that Orbit Group Limited buys a substantial housing management software solution together with continuing support through a specialist public-sector framework route. A credible competitor would need a proven housing management product, the capability to implement and operate it reliably, and an established support service able to maintain the system over a multi-year customer relationship. The buyer’s classification of the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs indicates that scale, operational capacity and the ability to sustain support are important commercial considerations. Suppliers should also be prepared to compete through the relevant framework structure, rather than relying solely on an open standalone software tender. Experience serving housing organisations would strengthen a future proposition.
