Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing has completed the procurement process for their Electronic Payment System (EPS) project, aimed at streamlining payment processes and enhancing the customer journey.

Key dates include the award notice date on 22 May 2026 and the contract period set to begin on 1 September 2026, with a potential maximum extension to 31 August 2034.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for companies in the financial information systems and electronic data exchange services sectors.
