Summary of the contracting process

Newark and Sherwood District Council procured a homelessness case management system. The software is intended to support accurate recording of homelessness cases and reporting of case numbers and outcomes to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. The requirement is for a software package and information system, rather than a wider homelessness support service. Delivery is in Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Civica UK Limited. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award covers one lot. The contract was signed on 23 October 2025 and runs from 23 October 2025 to 22 October 2027. Its value is £40,235.30 excluding VAT, or £48,282.36 including VAT. The recorded award is active, and the contract is active. The published procurement information does not give an evaluation basis or specific eligibility criteria.

This award shows demand from Newark and Sherwood District Council for a dedicated homelessness case management system that enables accurate case recording and reporting of case numbers and outcomes to central government. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to provide software suited to homelessness casework, with reliable recording and reporting functions aligned to the council’s stated purpose. The award went to Civica UK Limited through a direct award without competition, so it does not provide evidence of a competitive evaluation or specific qualifications that secured the selection. A credible future supplier would need to demonstrate that its system can support the council’s case management and reporting needs, and deliver the software for local authority use.
