Summary of the contracting process

South Kesteven District Council procured a rent management system using RentSense software from Mobysoft to manage its rent management caseload. The requirement is for software and information systems, covering the provision and use of a specialist digital case management system rather than physical goods or construction. The buying organisation is South Kesteven District Council, based in Grantham. Delivery is associated with Lincolnshire. The procurement was structured as a call-off from the Government Commercial Agency’s G-Cloud framework, indicating a public-sector software purchasing route. The selected supplier, Mobysoft, is a Manchester-based small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in rent management software.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The council used a limited procedure with a direct award without a prior call for competition, relying on the G-Cloud framework. The award was made to Mobysoft and the contract was signed on 1 September 2026 for £218,400. The available award record shows one bid. Price was the stated award criterion. The procurement was recorded as complete, while the single lot itself is marked cancelled; the active award and active contract identify Mobysoft as the appointed supplier. The published outcome is therefore a completed direct framework call-off rather than an open competition, with the requirement evaluated on price.

This outcome demonstrates demand from a district council for specialist rent management and housing casework software, at a substantial single-contract scale. Suppliers seeking to compete when a comparable requirement returns would need a proven rent management platform that can manage caseloads effectively and support council housing operations. Experience delivering software to local authorities would strengthen credibility, particularly evidence of reliable implementation, user support, data handling and integration with existing council systems where required. Access to the relevant public-sector framework route would also be important, since this purchase used a G-Cloud call-off and a direct award. The result suggests that focused product capability and competitive pricing are central to this buyer’s purchasing approach.
