Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council is procuring a modern, secure and scalable cloud-based Housing and Asset Management System, with associated implementation, data migration, integration, training, support and account management. The requirement is divided into two service areas. Lot 1 covers an integrated housing and asset management solution supporting operational, strategic and regulatory housing activities, replacing legacy technologies and providing a single trusted source of information on residents, households, properties, assets and related services. Lot 2 covers a repairs and maintenance system, including software, implementation, migration, integration, training, testing, support and ongoing account management. This is a technology and managed services opportunity for suppliers serving local-authority housing, property, repairs or asset-management functions. Suppliers may bid for either lot or both.

The procurement has reached tender: Oxford City Council invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. Bids are submitted electronically through the Oxford City Council Intend Portal, with English as the submission language. The tender deadline is 8 October 2026 at 2:00 pm, and the anticipated award date is 16 December 2026. Lot 1 is valued at £6,666,666 excluding VAT, or £8,000,000 including VAT; Lot 2 at £3,333,333 excluding VAT, or £4,000,000 including VAT. Both contracts are planned from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2037, with one possible five-year renewal, giving a maximum term to 31 January 2042. Evaluation for each lot is 70% quality, 20% price and 10% social value.

This opportunity suits established housing technology providers, repairs and maintenance software specialists, systems integrators and strategic technology partners with the capability to deliver complex public-sector implementations. Suppliers should be able to provide secure, scalable cloud software and manage migration from legacy systems, integrations with other platforms, configuration, testing, training, user support and account management. Relevant experience in housing services, property and asset data, repairs operations, regulatory requirements or local-government technology would position a bidder well. The procurement allows a supplier to focus on either the housing and asset-management requirement, the repairs and maintenance requirement, or both. It therefore suits businesses with a specialist product as well as larger providers able to support integrated, long-term service delivery across multiple operational areas.
