UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited has renewed licences for the BigChange platform, a telematics system used to support operational fleet and vehicle management. The requirement covers a two-year platform licence rather than installation of physical telematics equipment. The awarded service is associated with delivery across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a technology and fleet-management software requirement for a housing group, relevant to suppliers providing telematics platforms, connected-vehicle systems or related licence-based operational tools.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Thirteen Housing Group Limited signed the contract with BIGCHANGE LIMITED on 22 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028 and has a gross value of £195,929.28. One lot was awarded, covering the BigChange platform licence renewal. The award category is goods, classified as a telematics system. The selected supplier is BIGCHANGE LIMITED, a Leeds-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

This award demonstrates established demand from Thirteen Housing Group Limited for a telematics platform that can be deployed across a geographically extensive English operating footprint. Suppliers competing for a future requirement with this buyer would need a mature vehicle and field-operations platform, dependable connected-vehicle functionality and the ability to provide ongoing software licensing and support. Credibility would also depend on demonstrating continuity for an existing operational system, reliable service across multiple English regions and sufficient organisational capacity to manage a housing-group customer. Telematics specialists, fleet-technology providers and software businesses with relevant housing, maintenance or mobile-workforce experience would be the closest competitors when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
