Summary of the contracting process

Wealden District Council procured housing technology services: a fully integrated, cloud-based ICT platform for Housing Options, homelessness and choice-based lettings. The system is intended to meet the council’s operational requirements through one updated specification, covering both housing services and housing-related support functions. The procurement is categorised as software packages and information systems, with housing services as an additional category. Delivery is for Wealden District Council in the South East of England. The selected solution is provided by Locata (Housing Services) Limited, whose platform is intended to support the council’s housing allocation and homelessness-related operations within a single integrated service. The requirement is for services rather than physical works or goods, and is relevant to suppliers of housing management, homelessness, lettings and public-sector property software.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Wealden District Council used a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Responses were due by 24 July 2026 at 18:00. Locata (Housing Services) Limited was selected as the preferred supplier following shortlisted research, on the basis that it could provide the whole required scope in one contract. The award was made on 31 July 2026 for £88,725 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. One supplier was awarded the requirement, covering the integrated platform and associated housing services.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the requirement demonstrates demand for a single cloud platform spanning housing options, homelessness casework and choice-based lettings within a district council environment. A credible competitor would need to show that its software can integrate these functions rather than address only one operational area, and that it can support a council’s requirements through one coherent service and specification. Relevant strengths would include proven housing management, homelessness and lettings workflows, dependable cloud delivery, data integration and practical implementation support. The procurement also shows that a smaller supplier can be considered for this type of council technology requirement, provided it can offer the full scope through its own service or an integrated solution. Suppliers should be prepared to compete through a framework call-off and evidence comparable public-sector capability.
