Summary of the contracting process

The Sanctuary Housing Association, a public authority and sub-central government body, has awarded a direct contract to Delaware Digital LLP for the integration of their Salesforce Customer Experience Platform. This procurement process follows the failure of a competitive award procedure when no bids were received after a mini competition amongst suppliers on Lot 1 of the GCA RM6263 framework earlier in 2026. The contract, valued at £5,340,000 gross, with a net amount of £4,450,000, was formalised on 23rd June 2026. The project involves technical support and professional services required to complete and transition the platform into a live environment, located in the West Midlands, UK (UKG). The contract spans from 6th July 2026 to 30th June 2027.

This award presents substantial opportunities for large-scale IT service providers specialising in software programming and consultancy services, particularly those familiar with CRM systems like Salesforce. Delaware Digital LLP, a large-scale supplier based in London, will undertake this project, which reflects a significant contract within the software services industry. Businesses capable of providing extensive technical support, integration, and deployment services could find similar opportunities in future tenders, especially under frameworks designed for digital specialists and programmes. This contract exemplifies lucrative opportunities in public sector digital transformation projects requiring fast-track implementation.
