Summary of the contracting process

Sanctuary Housing Association sought a time management and rostering system for Sanctuary Supported Living and associated services. The requirement combines software with related IT services and support. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The system is intended to support workforce time management and staff rostering across the housing association’s supported-living services.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Following evaluation and clarification, the procurement was abandoned because bids did not demonstrate a solution meeting the required combination of time management and rostering requirements; no contract will be awarded under this exercise. The stated tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 11:00, and the enquiry deadline was 15 July 2026 at 16:00. The estimated contract period was 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2031, with an extension option to 1 November 2036. The estimated value was £3,000,000 including VAT. There was one lot. Award was weighted 60% on quality and 40% on cost; technical selection criteria applied.

The requirement suits suppliers able to deliver an integrated time management and rostering solution, with the technical capability to meet the buyer’s combined requirements for Sanctuary Supported Living and associated services. Suppliers need to demonstrate system functionality across both workforce time management and rostering, rather than offering only one of these elements. The evaluation placed greater weight on quality than cost, so providers able to evidence a strong technical solution and service quality were well placed to compete. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to providers of different sizes and organisational types.
