UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Curo Places Limited procured online community software to support consultation and feedback from residents. The requirement covers the Curo Voicebox Platform and Insight Hub Platform service, providing digital tools for engaging residents, gathering their views and managing community feedback. The buying organisation is Curo Places Limited, based in Bath. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a software and information-systems requirement, classified under CPV 48000000, rather than a construction, property maintenance or general consultancy contract. Businesses relevant to this requirement include software providers with platforms for online engagement, resident consultation, feedback collection and insight management, particularly where those services can support a housing or community-focused organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. One lot was completed. FLEXMR LIMITED was awarded the contract on 2 July 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 12 July 2026 to 11 July 2027, with a possible single-year extension to 11 July 2028. Its value is £67,000 excluding VAT and £80,400 including VAT. The contract is active and the award is active. The evaluation route was therefore a non-competitive direct award rather than an open tender, with FLEXMR LIMITED selected to provide the online community software requirement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Curo Places Limited for a resident-facing digital engagement service combining online consultation, feedback and insight functions. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a proven online community or consultation platform, with practical tools for collecting resident views, managing responses and turning feedback into usable insight. Experience supporting housing providers, residents or other community-focused organisations would be relevant, as would the ability to provide a reliable managed software service rather than a one-off technology installation. The award to an SME shows that a smaller specialist supplier can meet this type of public-sector requirement, provided it can demonstrate product capability, service resilience and relevant delivery experience.
