Summary of the contracting process

Orbit Group Limited procured an electronic document and records management system (EDRMS) through its EDRMS SolutionCare requirement. The service covers software licensing and ongoing support for a secure, non-hosted system providing a single repository for tenant, property, compliance and corporate records. It is intended to support secure and consistent document storage, retrieval, version control and audit history. The system also supports GDPR, retention policies, information governance, access controls, evidential records, regulatory reporting and audits. It provides central access to tenancy agreements, correspondence, case files and property documentation, while reducing manual document handling and supporting consistent business processes. Established integrations allow documents and records to be accessed from operational systems. Delivery covers England, for Orbit Group Limited, based in Coventry.

The procurement is complete and one contract was awarded to Netcall Technology Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, because Orbit Group Limited considered that suitable compliant frameworks were unavailable for a non-supplier-hosted solution. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 22 September 2026 to 21 September 2027. Its value is £43,732 excluding VAT, or £52,478.40 including VAT. The awarded service is classified as software maintenance and repair services. The contract is active and relates to one completed lot. The published outcome identifies Netcall Technology Limited as the selected supplier. The procurement description emphasises licensing, support, document management, compliance, auditability, records retrieval and integration with Orbit’s core business applications.

This award indicates demand from a housing organisation for a secure, non-hosted EDRMS combining software licensing with ongoing support. Suppliers competing for similar work would need to demonstrate a mature electronic document and records management platform capable of handling tenant, property, compliance and corporate records in one controlled repository. Credible capability includes secure storage and retrieval, version control, audit history, access controls, retention-policy support and evidential records for inspections and investigations. Experience supporting GDPR and information governance would be relevant, as would the ability to manage compliance and safety documentation and provide evidence for reporting and audits. Suppliers should also be able to integrate the EDRMS with operational business applications, reduce manual handling and support consistent processes across a geographically broad English operation.
