Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "RentSense Income Collection" project was conducted by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, a regional authority in the United Kingdom. This project, classified under the IT services category (CPV code: 72000000), involves income management software aimed at boosting rent income and supporting the Housing Revenue Account. The procurement process was executed as a direct award via the G-Cloud 14 framework, without prior publication of a call for competition, as it fell outside the scope of application of the directive. The procurement was completed with an active award to Mobysoft Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise, with a contract valued at £855,364.48, signed on 18th December 2025. The location for service delivery is within the UK, and the overall process aligns with the legal basis stipulated by directive 32014L0024.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in IT services, particularly those experienced with software that enhances income recovery processes. Companies capable of delivering consulting, software development, and internet and support services are well-positioned to compete for similar public sector projects. The contract includes an option to extend the service for an additional 12-month period, allowing for potential long-term growth and partnership with the Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council. Mobysoft Limited's involvement highlights the chance for SMEs to secure substantial contracts within public procurement frameworks like G-Cloud, offering both financial benefits and the potential to strengthen client portfolios.
