Summary of the contracting process

Clarion Housing Group is procuring a centralised governance, risk and compliance software platform to bring its governance, risk and compliance activities together in one place. The requirement covers software and information systems, accounting software and software supply services. This is a technology services opportunity for suppliers able to provide and support a platform that helps a large housing organisation manage these activities centrally. Clarion Housing Group is the buying organisation, based in London, and the platform will support its organisational operations. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The requirement is arranged as a single lot and is classified as a service.

The procurement has reached tender: Clarion invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure. The process may use written submissions, clarification, demonstrations, dialogue or negotiation before final evaluation. Expressions of interest were due by 9 November 2026 at 17:00, and enquiries closed on 2 November 2026 at 17:00. The contract is planned to run from 1 February 2027 to 1 February 2030. Its gross value is £306,000. A minimum of three and maximum of six candidates may proceed to the second stage. Evaluation is weighted 80% for quality and 20% for price, with quality assessed against the stated requirements and specification and price assessed for competitiveness, transparency and affordability. Submissions are handled by email.

This opportunity suits software providers with a governance, risk and compliance platform that can centralise and organise activities across a housing organisation. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that their product meets the published requirements and can deliver the required outcomes, supported by clear written responses and, where requested, product demonstrations, clarification, dialogue or negotiation. The assessment places substantially greater emphasis on quality than price, so suppliers with a strong, usable platform and a well-evidenced implementation and service approach are well placed to compete. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant beyond large technology companies. It may suit established platform vendors, specialist GRC providers and capable implementation partners offering software supply and support.
