Summary of the contracting process

VIVID Housing Ltd procured WIZ GO security software as a public-sector software service. The requirement covers provision of the WIZ GO packaged software product and information systems, described under programming services for packaged software products. The buyer is VIVID Housing Ltd, a housing organisation based in Portsmouth. The stated purpose is to provide security software through the CCS G-Cloud 14 Framework, with Softcat PLC identified as the supplier. The requirement concerns software supply rather than construction, facilities management or general IT consultancy. Businesses operating in cyber security software, packaged software licensing, software procurement or related technology services would find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they supply WIZ GO or comparable security products through public-sector purchasing frameworks.

The procurement is complete and has reached the award stage. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, with the stated rationale that the services could be provided only by a particular operator for technical reasons. The requirement was awarded to Softcat PLC, and one bid was recorded. The award concerned the single lot, whose award criterion was price, although that lot is marked cancelled while the award itself is active. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 for £171,676.59 including the recorded currency of GBP. The procurement method rationale states that the contract was compliantly awarded through the CCS G-Cloud 14 Framework.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the process demonstrates a defined housing-sector demand for WIZ GO security software and a purchasing route through the CCS G-Cloud 14 Framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement from VIVID Housing Ltd would need the capability to supply and support packaged cyber-security software, understand software licensing and implementation, and operate within the framework’s commercial and compliance arrangements. The recorded evaluation basis was price, so transparent, competitive pricing would be important alongside product suitability. The selected supplier was a large technology provider, indicating that buyers may value established delivery capacity, dependable software supply and the ability to manage a public-sector security-software requirement at significant scale.
