Summary of the contracting process

GreenSquareAccord (GSA), a housing association, procured software implementation and related services for its housing, finance and asset-management systems across England. The requirement brings existing MRI agreements into one managed contract and includes migration of infrastructure and applications to the MRI Cloud. Services cover cloud hosting and migration, security updates, infrastructure and application maintenance, monitoring, patching, upgrades and ongoing support. The systems include MRI HSG Enterprise, voids, rent accounting, rent restructuring, Right to Buy, digital self-service, CRM, Homeswapper, Finance Enterprise and Advanced OpenAccounts, asset-management, document-management, reporting and related integration tools. The housing platform supports up to 26,000 properties, while the finance components support up to 74 concurrent users. The intended outcome is a secure, resilient and scalable technology environment for GSA’s frontline and corporate services.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure by direct award without a separate call for competition, under the Crown Commercial Service RM6098 Technology Services framework. The stated basis was that MRI Software Limited holds the relevant intellectual property and proprietary system knowledge. MRI Software Limited received one award valued at £3,246,997, and a second award, also involving GreenSquareAccord, valued at £3,672,576.91; both contracts were signed on 1 February 2026. The second contract runs for 1,800 days. The arrangement is described as five years, comprising three years plus two optional 12-month extensions. Evaluation was on price alone. One bid was recorded. A contract amendment covers migration from OpenAccounts to OneAdvanced Financials and associated integration with MRI Housing Enterprise.

This opportunity demonstrates established demand from GSA for a single, integrated MRI technology environment rather than separate point solutions. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need deep expertise in MRI’s proprietary housing, finance, asset-management, CRM and digital-service products, together with the rights and technical access needed to configure, migrate and support them. Credible capability would include cloud migration, data mapping and validation, API and systems integration, security patching, infrastructure and application monitoring, upgrades, user training and adoption support. Experience maintaining housing-management and financial-control systems at housing-association scale would be particularly relevant, as would knowledge of GDPR, cyber resilience, auditability and legislative compliance. The requirement favours a supplier able to preserve existing configurations and integrations while modernising finance services without disrupting frontline housing operations.
