Summary of the contracting process

Believe Housing Limited intends to procure information and communications technology systems and related services for repairs, asset management and compliance. The scope covers software and information systems, including compliance software, alongside information-systems planning and computer-related services. The work is for delivery in County Durham. This is a service procurement intended to support the housing provider’s repairs, asset and compliance functions.

The process is at the planning stage: the buyer has set out its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It plans to use a single lot. Believe Housing expects to publish a further notice around 1 April 2027. The planned contract period runs from 1 April 2028 to 31 March 2032. Early market engagement is planned through a questionnaire, with responses requested by 12:00 on 2 November 2026. No procedure, evaluation basis or contract value is stated here.

The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers with experience providing ICT systems for housing repairs, asset management or compliance may find the intended scope relevant. Relevant capabilities include supplying or configuring business software, compliance systems and information platforms, as well as providing associated technology planning and computer-related services. The range of requirements may suit systems vendors, implementation partners and IT service providers able to support housing-sector operations. The planned market engagement gives interested suppliers a chance to inform their preparation by responding to the buyer’s questionnaire before the procurement reaches the tender stage. No specific technical standards, accreditations or experience thresholds are set out at this stage.
