UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited procured annual licence renewals for its Proval and Sequel software. The requirement covers continued access to these software products rather than new development or implementation work. It is classified as a development software package, making this relevant to software publishers, authorised resellers and licensing specialists able to provide or renew Proval and Sequel licences. The contracted delivery location is the United Kingdom, for use by the housing group. The procurement was arranged by Thirteen Housing Group Limited, a public authority based in Middlesbrough. The requirement is focused on maintaining existing software licences and would suit suppliers with a direct product relationship or the rights needed to support these named systems.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Thirteen Housing Group Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was completed and the contract was awarded to Shelton Development Services Limited. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026, runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 December 2029, and has a gross value of £179,338.50. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies Shelton Development Services Limited as the supplier for the Proval and Sequel renewal requirement. The evaluation was therefore not based on competing tender submissions; the route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition.

This completed award demonstrates sustained demand from a housing organisation for annual renewals of the Proval and Sequel software it already uses. A credible future competitor would need to supply or renew both named products, maintain the relevant licensing or reseller rights, and support continued access over a multi-year public-sector arrangement. The requirement favours a specialist software supplier or authorised licensing partner rather than a general IT services firm. Shelton Development Services Limited is recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller focused provider can serve this type of customer. Relevant preparation would include evidence of product authority, reliable licence administration, renewal management and experience supporting organisations with ongoing software requirements.
