Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Housing Asset Management" contract was completed by the Irwell Valley Housing Association Limited, a public authority sub-central government entity based in Salford, United Kingdom. The process used a direct award method under the Procurement Act 2023, relying on technical and exclusive rights afforded by the unique feature-set of Alertacall Limited's "Housing Proactive" system. The procurement involved the provision of services to assist with dwellings management for tenants with higher housing needs, being the only system approved as UK Housing Benefit eligible. The contract, valued at GBP 425,000, will span from 10th November 2025 to 9th November 2028 with a potential extension of one more year.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in housing management systems and service provision to communities, particularly those capable of catering to special housing needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative solutions in housing technology or community services could benefit from monitoring future similar procurement opportunities, especially if they have solutions that offer unique technical capabilities or exclusive rights.
