The London Borough of Havering has recently completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Open Housing Software," classified under the CPV code for software packages and information systems. This contract falls within the goods category and pertains to the procurement of housing management software necessary for housing service delivery. The procurement process, finalised on 19th May 2026, was conducted through a limited method without prior publication, in accordance with the relevant legal regulations.
