Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Halton Housing, a public authority under the sub-central government classification, involved the acquisition of a "Housing Services Digital Platform" aimed at supporting key areas of repairs, maintenance, and compliance services. This procurement is situated in the UK region UKD71, with the head office in Widnes. The procurement process employed an open procedure and involved an allocation of £1,100,000 for the contract, which commenced on 13th December 2025 and is set to conclude on 12th December 2030, with an option to extend by a further two years. The most recent stage in this procurement is the award stage, successfully granted to PLENTIFIC LTD, with the contract being officially signed on 12th December 2025.

This digital platform procurement presents substantial business growth potential, particularly for businesses specialising in software packages and information systems, classified under CPV code 48000000. The project involves the delivery and management of IT services essential for housing service operations, making it suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer innovative solutions in compliance and maintenance management. Such contracts can also pave the way for fostering stronger connections with public sector entities, offering future opportunities for businesses demonstrating expertise in IT infrastructure and maintenance solutions. Businesses capable of enhancing digital transformation initiatives in housing sectors would be well-positioned to compete in this and similar tenders in the future.
