The procurement was conducted via a direct award, deemed compliant with the Procurement Act 2023, to MRI Software Limited, a large software supplier headquartered in London. This award happened on 25th June 2025, with the contract starting on 1st July 2025 and extending until 30th June 2028, including an optional 12-month extension. The procurement falls under the industry category of software packages and information systems, with key delivery taking place within the UK, specifically the West Midlands region.

Direct awards eliminate the lengthy tender processes, benefitting suppliers already aligned with the buyer's technical requirements and offering opportunities for those with a proven track record to secure business with public authorities. The involvement of a significant player like MRI Software Limited highlights the potential for partnerships with large enterprises, encouraging SMEs in the tech industry to leverage their niche expertise in future opportunities.

Notice Description

MRI Repairs - Housing Repair Management System

Procurement Information

The direct award is compliant with the Procurement Act 2023 with the below justification from Schedule 5 applicable and relevant as a tender exercise was previously conducted for the services: The contracting authority wishes to buy additional or to partly replace existing goods, services or works which are the same or compatible with existing provisions (both those already supplied or that are contracted to be supplied). In this case, a direct award may be made where a change of supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and that difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance.
