Summary of the contracting process

Rooftop Housing Group Limited is initiating a public procurement process seeking a new Housing and Asset Management system to enhance its operations across South Worcestershire and North Gloucestershire. The current process is at the planning stage with a focus on market engagement to gather insights for a comprehensive solution that integrates both housing and asset management functionalities. Interested parties must register their expressions of interest by 31st July 2026. The demonstrations are slated to occur the week of 21st September 2026 at Rooftop's Evesham headquarters. The procurement aims to align with legal standards, and the contract period is expected to begin in April 2028 and extend through March 2033, with a potential for renewal.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses in the software, information systems, and computer-related services industries, offering a chance to contribute to a substantial social housing project. Companies with expertise in software package development, data migration solutions, and system integration are highly encouraged to engage, as Rooftop seeks innovative solutions that exceed standard functionalities. Participating in this preliminary market engagement (PME) could provide valuable insights into potential business opportunities, despite not influencing the chances of winning future contracts. Businesses interested should prepare to showcase their offerings through structured demonstrations, aligning with Rooftop's objective to assess market capacity and potential solutions.
