UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wythenshawe Community Housing Group is exploring the procurement of a finance system service for its housing operations. The scope may range from a standalone finance system to a fully integrated enterprise resource planning solution, depending on the preferred delivery approach and requirements shaped through market engagement. This is an information technology services requirement covering software, implementation or integration support, and ongoing technical support. The buying organisation is Wythenshawe Community Housing Group, based in Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester. The future system is intended to support the organisation’s finance activities; suppliers with relevant public, housing or other complex-organisation finance systems experience may find the requirement relevant.

The procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a preliminary market engagement exercise, not an invitation to tender. The buyer is seeking supplier input to shape its requirements and preferred delivery approach before a formal procurement process. Preliminary market engagement is scheduled for completion by 16 September 2026. The planned contract period is from 1 April 2027 to 1 April 2030, with an option for renewal or extension up to 1 April 2033. One lot is planned. The procurement is for services, classified under IT services including consulting, software development, internet and support. The buyer has not yet set out a tender procedure, evaluation basis or contract value.

This engagement is suited to finance software providers, enterprise resource planning specialists, systems integrators and technology support businesses able to advise on delivery models as well as provide a finance platform. Relevant suppliers should be prepared to compare standalone finance systems with integrated ERP solutions and explain the implications for implementation, integration, data, support and long-term operation. Experience delivering finance technology for housing providers, public bodies or organisations with complex operational requirements would be useful. The buyer is specifically looking for supplier input that can shape the eventual specification and delivery approach, so businesses with demonstrable product knowledge, implementation capability and practical transformation experience should prepare their views before the formal procurement is launched.
