Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership Limited procured 850 full-seat licences for SafetyCulture’s iAuditor inspection software. The platform is used across its operations to complete and record inspections covering estates and buildings, fire safety, health and safety, vehicles, personal protective equipment, empty homes, repairs and compliance. The requirement is for software licences rather than inspection services or physical equipment. Delivery is described across England, with locations spanning the North East, North West, Yorkshire and Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The system supports the partnership’s inspection and assurance activity across its housing and property operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded by direct award to SafetyCulture Pty Ltd. The stated reason was the need to maintain continuity of an established operational platform for business-critical inspection and assurance while The Guinness Partnership reviews its longer-term licence requirements and future platform options. The awarded value is £217,872 including VAT. The licence description specifies a one-year term from 31 August 2026 to 30 August 2027; the recorded contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 August 2027. The award is recorded as pending, and a contract signature was scheduled for 1 October 2026. The requirement was structured as one lot. No separate evaluation criteria are set out.

This award demonstrates demand for a large-scale, established digital inspection platform supporting a housing provider’s estate, building, safety, repairs and compliance checks. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to provide a proven inspection and assurance system capable of supporting many users across varied operational teams and property-related workflows. The platform must enable staff to complete inspections and keep records across fire, health and safety, vehicles, protective equipment, empty homes and repairs, as well as broader compliance activity. Continuity mattered: the buyer relied on an existing system while considering its longer-term requirements, so a competing supplier would need to address migration, service continuity and operational reliability as well as core functionality. The award went to a large software supplier through a direct award; no specific accreditations or technical thresholds are recorded.
