UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council procured a homelessness case management system and estates module, titled Homelessness System & Estates Module. The requirement is software and information systems supporting the council’s homelessness service and associated estates activity. The work is for Torbay Council, based in Torquay, with delivery in the council’s area. Locata Housing Services is the selected supplier. The opportunity is therefore relevant to software providers with products for homelessness case management, housing or property-related administration, particularly those able to support a local authority’s operational requirements through an integrated system. It is a technology procurement rather than a construction, property maintenance or general housing services contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Torbay Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. One lot was awarded to Locata Housing Services, whose award status is active. The contract is valued at £30,850 excluding VAT, or £37,020 including VAT. It was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a latest possible end date of 30 June 2027. The contract is provided on a rolling quarterly basis and includes renewal. The evaluation basis was therefore the council’s direct-award decision rather than a competitive scoring exercise. The selected service is classified as software packages and information systems.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Torbay Council for specialist software supporting homelessness case management and estates functions. A credible competitor when the requirement next returns would need a proven homelessness system, an estates module or both, with the ability to support the operational needs of a local authority. Relevant suppliers are likely to be established housing technology companies, software developers with homelessness-sector products, and providers able to deliver connected case and property information. Locata Housing Services is recorded as a large supplier, indicating that the council selected an established technology provider rather than a small specialist for this requirement. Experience delivering comparable council systems would strengthen a future proposition.
