Summary of the contracting process

The Government Property Agency (GPA), a sub-central government public authority based in Birmingham, has completed a procurement process concerning the provision of Property Management Software. This procurement falls under the services category and involves the supply of Software as a Service (SaaS) for property management and asset management. The procurement method was a direct award under statutory justification as per the Procurement Act 2023, with the contract awarded to MRI Software Limited. The contract, valued at £2,900,000 with an additional gross amount of £3,480,000, spans a period from August 2026 to August 2028, with options for extensions up to 2030. Key tasks include software licensing, ongoing support, and development work. The GPA issued a transparency notice on June 24, 2026, and the award is pending with a future signature scheduled for July 12, 2026.

This tender represents an important opportunity for businesses involved in property management software solutions, particularly those able to offer SaaS products and technical support services. As a direct award, it ensures service continuity, presenting an advantage for suppliers familiar with the GPA's existing infrastructure. Businesses that provide seamless digital integration and possess robust technical capabilities would be well-suited for similar contracts. The size of the contract offers a significant growth opportunity, especially for large firms such as MRI Software Limited, which is already servicing this contract. Firms looking to position themselves in government contracts would benefit from keeping abreast of future market solutions that the GPA plans to develop after this interim measure.

Notice Title

Property Management Software

Notice Description

The provision of Property Management and Asset Managment Software as a Service (SaaS). This includes the supply of software licences, ongoing support, development work and other property management services

Procurement Information

Statutory Justification under Paragraph 7 of Schedule 5 (Procurement Act 2023) The Government Property Agency (GPA) is publishing this Transparency Notice to state its intention to make a direct award to the incumbent supplier, MRI Software Limited. This contract concerns the supply of goods (core digital property software) and services (technical system support) which are intended as an essential extension to GPA's existing operations. The GPA has determined that a change in supplier at this stage would result in it receiving goods and services that are fundamentally different from, and technologically incompatible with its existing estate management environment. This incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in day-to-day operation and maintenance, and would unacceptably compromise business continuity across the central government estate. Detailed digital and technical assessments demonstrate that a safe and orderly migration to an alternative solution would take between 12 to 24 months to deliver without introducing material operational risk to government operations. This direct award represents a strictly limited, temporary measure to ensure continuity of service while the GPA develops its long term future market solution.
