UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Together Housing Association Limited bought a BACS system for itself and its subsidiaries. The system supports effective and compliant processing of financial transactions across the organisation. This is a financial systems software requirement, including financial systems software, accounting software and financial information systems. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement is relevant to suppliers that provide BACS, payment-processing or related financial management software for housing associations, public-sector organisations or groups of operating companies. The requirement concerns a software system rather than general accounting support, consultancy or stand-alone financial services. Suppliers able to support transaction processing across multiple related entities may find the buyer and use case particularly relevant.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Paygate Solutions Limited, an SME, under a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot, marked complete and suitable for SMEs. The award was active and the contract was signed on 28 July 2026. The contract period runs from 29 November 2026 to 28 November 2029, with two twelve-month extension options and a maximum end date of 28 November 2031. The gross contract value is £90,000. Together Housing Association Limited selected the supplier through a limited procurement method. The published data records the procurement as a goods purchase for a BACS system; it does not state the award scoring criteria or any minimum technical, financial or accreditation requirements.

This award demonstrates demand from Together Housing Association Limited for a managed BACS and financial systems capability supporting compliant financial transactions across a housing association and its subsidiaries. A credible future competitor would need a reliable financial software product with BACS functionality, accounting or financial information system integration, and the capacity to support transactions for more than one organisational entity. Experience of secure, accurate payment processing and maintaining compliance in a public or regulated environment would strengthen a supplier’s position, although the procurement data does not identify particular certifications or technical standards. The award also shows that the requirement was accessible to an SME and was procured through a limited competition, indicating a focused supplier field rather than a large open-market exercise.
