Summary of the contracting process

The Chelmer Housing Partnership Limited, based in Chelmsford, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for electronic vouchers under Lot 5 of the Electronic Payments framework. The procurement falls within the software package and information systems category, with an ID of 48000000 under the CPV scheme, focusing on goods. The contracting process involved a limited procurement method, allowing direct award without prior publication, due to pre-existing relationships and operational needs associated with an upcoming merger. The procurement culminated in the awarding of a contract to Evouchers Ltd, with the contract signed on 29 January 2026 for a value of GBP 150,000. The process was overseen by the Public Procurement Review Service in London.

This tender opening provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in electronic payment solutions and voucher systems, especially those with expertise in the provision of household goods vouchers for food and energy. The guaranteed call off from the established PfH framework presents a favourable environment for suppliers capable of delivering efficient and scalable voucher systems. Small and medium enterprises with agile service capacity, particularly those able to offer innovative software solutions and information systems, will find this procurement advantageous for strategic growth and increased market presence within the UK housing sector.
