Summary of the contracting process

VIVID Housing Ltd commissioned vehicle-fleet management services for its company vans. The requirement is for a telematics and tracking system providing real-time vehicle location data, vehicle telematics information, and the ability to run and receive proactive reports based on that data. This is a services contract focused on monitoring and reporting across a housing provider’s operational vehicle fleet. The successful service must combine vehicle tracking with usable telematics data and reporting functions, supporting VIVID Housing’s management of its vans. The procurement covers activity in the United Kingdom, with delivery associated with areas in southern and south-western England. It is relevant to providers of fleet telematics, vehicle tracking platforms, connected-vehicle systems and related reporting services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. One supplier, EDC SYSTEMS LIMITED, was selected for the vehicle tracking and telematics requirement. The contract was signed on 14 April 2026 and runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2028, with one available 12-month extension taking the maximum end date to 30 April 2029. Its value is £90,000 excluding VAT and £108,000 including VAT. The award was made on a services basis and relates to one completed lot. The recorded procurement route means the opportunity was not evaluated through a competitive tender; the outcome reflects a direct award under the applicable below-threshold procedure. The contract is active.

This award identifies a recurring operational requirement for VIVID Housing Ltd: reliable telematics and tracking for company vans, combined with real-time location visibility and proactive reporting. Competitors preparing for a future requirement of this kind would need a proven vehicle-tracking and fleet-telematics service, capable of collecting dependable vehicle data and presenting it through practical reports for operational management. Credibility would depend on demonstrating that the system can support a working van fleet rather than only individual vehicle monitoring, with consistent data availability, straightforward reporting and day-to-day service reliability. Providers with an established connected-vehicle platform, fleet implementation experience and the capacity to support a housing organisation’s operational vehicles would be well placed to address this buyer’s stated requirement when it next considers the service.
