UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured specialist consultancy to migrate data from all of its legacy housing applications into one unified platform. The work is systems and technical consultancy, with a specific focus on housing application data migration and the consolidation of legacy information. It is intended for a highly experienced consultant with the expertise to plan and deliver migration across multiple existing applications, while supporting the move to a single platform. The buying organisation is North Northamptonshire Council, based at The Corby Cube in Corby. Delivery is in North Northamptonshire, England. The procurement covers services rather than goods or construction works, and was arranged as a single requirement for the council’s housing application estate.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. North Northamptonshire Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition. The contract was awarded to PURPLE DATA CONSULTANCY LIMITED, an SME, for the full requirement. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £97,500 excluding VAT, or £117,000 including VAT. The award covers one complete lot and systems and technical consultancy services. The contract is active. The published evaluation route was direct award rather than a competitive assessment, so there was no competitive tendering or stated scored award basis for suppliers to compare.

This award shows a defined requirement for specialist housing data migration rather than general IT support: bringing every legacy housing application into one unified platform. A credible future supplier would need substantial experience of complex data migration, including understanding legacy application structures, extracting and transforming data, validating data quality, and managing consolidation into a target platform. It would also need systems and technical consultancy capability, with enough senior expertise to advise the council and take responsibility for migration delivery across its housing application estate. The awarded supplier’s SME status shows that this scale of specialist public-sector consultancy can be delivered by a focused consultancy, not only by a large systems integrator. Relevant experience with local-authority housing systems would strengthen credibility.
