Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned a software-as-a-service platform for governance, risk, control and incident management across England. The service comprises the Risk Module Silver, Incident Module Silver and Control Module Silver, together with onboarding, support and related services. The modules are intended to provide software for managing compliance, organisational risks, controls and incidents, supported by associated IT services. The supplier’s g-Cloud 14 Service Definition governs the service and related support. The procurement is for services in the software and information-systems field, including compliance software and IT support. Homes England, the public body responsible for the requirement, is the buyer. The named platform service was supplied by Core Stream Ltd.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award. The tender submission deadline was 21 May 2026 at 23:59, and the award was made on 29 May 2026. Core Stream Ltd was selected as supplier for £120,000 including the stated contract value. The contract period runs from 30 May 2026 to 29 May 2028. The procurement was not divided into lots, and the published suitability assessment does not reserve it for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement route was direct award, rather than an open competition. The award is active, with the contract covering the three software modules, onboarding, support and related services for Homes England.

This requirement demonstrates demand from Homes England for an integrated SaaS platform covering governance, risk, controls and incident management rather than a standalone application. Relevant competitors would need a mature compliance and risk-management product with separate but connected modules for risk, incidents and controls, together with the capacity to provide onboarding and ongoing support. Experience delivering software and information-system services to a public-sector operating environment would help establish credibility, as would the ability to work within a defined cloud service framework and its service description. The requirement also indicates that the buyer values a substantial, established provider able to support the platform throughout its service period, rather than a small one-off implementation.
