Summary of the contracting process

Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council procured a housing needs IT solution: software and related IT services to support its housing needs work. The requirement is classified as an IT software package and falls within the services category. Delivery is in the South East of England. The council is the buying organisation. The procurement was made through the G-Cloud 14 framework, indicating a requirement for a technology supplier able to provide a suitable housing-focused software solution through an established public sector framework route. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it was open in principle to organisations of those types. The selected supplier, Huume Ltd, is recorded as an SME.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 16 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Huume Ltd on 12 August 2026 for £189,300. The contract period runs from 18 August 2026 to 17 August 2029. Evaluation resulted in one active award covering the housing needs IT solution. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £189,300, in GBP. The process is recorded as a single requirement rather than separate lots. It was conducted under the G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement (RM1557.14), with the framework call-off route determining how suppliers were invited and selected.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined public-sector demand for housing needs software and associated IT services at a borough council. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a housing-focused IT solution that can support the council’s housing needs functions, together with the capability to deliver and maintain software services for a public-sector customer. Experience of supplying councils or comparable housing organisations would strengthen a future proposition, while familiarity with the G-Cloud framework route would be commercially relevant. The successful supplier was an SME, and the procurement was considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, showing that a smaller specialist provider can compete for this type of council technology requirement.
