Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Data Quality Tool", was initiated by Plymouth Community Homes Limited, a housing association based in Plymouth, UK. This contract, classified under Software Programming and Consultancy Services, pertains to a 3-year agreement for an Experian Data Quality tool and associated consultancy services supplied by Phoenix Software Ltd. The procurement method employed was limited, specifically a direct award under KCS Procurement Services. The contract, valued at £269,496, was signed on 26th June 2026, marking the procurement stage as complete. The contract initially offered options for extension and was awarded without prior publication, as it fell outside the directive's scope of application.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software programming and consultancy services, particularly those capable of delivering data quality solutions. SMEs such as Phoenix Software Ltd, which secured the contract, demonstrate that smaller enterprises can effectively compete in this space when they provide specialised services. Companies with capabilities in data management tools and a track record of collaboration with public sector organisations may find similar opportunities tailored to their skill set. Such procurements also encourage the development and refinement of data-related services, aligning with increasing organisational needs for data accuracy and consultancy.
