UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of York Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "YorHome Software", with the objective to gather market information regarding software systems that support their YorHome service. This procurement falls within the services category, specifically software packages and real estate management, and operates within the UKE21 region in York, United Kingdom. The procurement process is under the 'sub-central government' classification, and it invites interested suppliers to submit information by the extended deadline of 25th March 2026.
