Summary of the contracting process

The Gentoo Group, a housing association based in Sunderland, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for an 'Income Management System' under the industry category of IT services, consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The contract was awarded to Voicescape Limited in November 2024, with the implementation and go-live date estimated for 1st April 2025. This procurement was carried out through a limited procedure without prior publication, utilising the G-Cloud 13 Call-Off Contract, which allows public sector customers to buy cloud-based computing services. The procurement included a 12-month contract extension option and involved a direct award rationale, falling outside the scope of the usual directive.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services and software development. The awarded contract, valued at £425,000, emphasises the need for robust and innovative technology solutions to manage income and arrears, providing an excellent growth opportunity for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like Voicescape Limited. Companies with expertise in cloud-based systems, financial management software, and associated support services would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders and collaborations with housing associations or public sector organisations looking to enhance their digital infrastructure.
