Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Waltham Forest is procuring a commercial Housing Revenue Account (HRA) business-planning software solution. It will support the preparation, maintenance and reporting of the Council’s long-term HRA Business Plan, including annual rent setting and budget preparation. The initial implementation must support the Council’s 2027/28 to 2057/58 HRA Business Plan and its 2027/28 HRA Budget and Rent Setting process. The configured solution must also allow Council officers to refresh, roll forward and maintain the plan in later years. This is a software supply and implementation service, classified under CPV 72268000. Delivery is for the Council in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation being the London Borough of Waltham Forest.

The procurement reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It has one lot. Enquiries had to be submitted by 22 September 2026 at 17:00, and offers by 25 September 2026 at 23:59; electronic submission was allowed. The planned contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with a possible renewal extending to 30 September 2030. The estimated value is £10, excluding VAT, or £12 including VAT. Award is based on 70% quality and 30% price. The selection requirements are set out in the invitation to quote document. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and renewal terms are also described in that document.

This opportunity suits suppliers of commercial housing, local-government or financial business-planning software with experience implementing configurable solutions for Housing Revenue Accounts. Relevant capability includes modelling long-term housing revenue finances, supporting business-plan maintenance, producing management reports, and handling annual rent-setting and budget processes. Suppliers should be able to replace or substantially reduce dependence on locally developed spreadsheet models, configure the system for the Council’s requirements, and transfer practical knowledge so officers can refresh, roll forward and maintain it themselves. Strong quality evidence is likely to matter more than the lowest price because quality carries 70% of the evaluation weighting. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, including specialist software providers that can deliver implementation, configuration, user support and sustainable in-house operation.
