Summary of the contracting process

mhs homes group procured Fortra Alert Logic services, covering software and information systems, security software development services, and wider information technology services. The requirement is classified as a service rather than goods or works and relates to the organisation’s technology and cyber-security provision. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, within the South East England area. The buyer is mhs homes group, based in Chatham. The selected provider, Alert Logic UK Ltd, is a large UK company operating under the LevelBlue brand. This opportunity is relevant to suppliers that provide security software, associated development services, and IT support for public or housing organisations, particularly where delivery can be managed in the South East.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Alert Logic UK Ltd. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 5 May 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029. Its value is £122,947.92 excluding VAT, or £147,537.50 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route, under the title Fortra Alert Logic. This outcome records mhs homes group’s chosen supplier and the agreed three-year service arrangement for software, security software development and information technology services.

For suppliers that did not win, this procurement demonstrates an established requirement at mhs homes group for a defined cyber-security software and IT services capability. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide security software and related technical services, support implementation and ongoing operation, and demonstrate dependable delivery for a housing organisation. Relevant experience with software and information systems, security software development, and broader IT services would help show capability against this type of requirement. Suppliers should also be able to manage a multi-year service relationship, provide suitable technical capacity, and operate effectively for delivery in the South East England area. The incumbent’s large-company scale indicates that robust service capacity is valued.
