Summary of the contracting process

Breckland District Council bought housing software systems covering CBL, HPA2 and HRS. The procurement was for the provision of housing software, classified as software and information systems. The items were associated with the housing software lot and delivery was in the UKH17 area, including Dereham, where the council is based. The systems form the scope of the requirement; the procurement does not describe their individual functions or explain how they are used. Locata, a software supplier based in Twickenham, was selected to provide the systems.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to Locata. The contract value is £204,600. It was signed on 19 October 2026; the award date is not stated. The contract is active, but no contract start or end dates or duration are recorded. The requirement was arranged through the GCS G-Cloud 14 agreement using a limited procedure without a prior published competition. The sole housing software lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active. The evaluation criterion recorded for the lot was price. One bid was recorded. The procurement rationale states that the contract was awarded via the GCS G-Cloud 14 agreement.

This award shows that Breckland District Council buys housing software systems covering CBL, HPA2 and HRS through the GCS G-Cloud agreement route. A supplier seeking to compete for the same requirement when it returns to market would need to provide housing software capable of addressing those systems, and be able to contract through the relevant G-Cloud framework. The recorded evaluation criterion was price, so competitive pricing would be important alongside a credible offer that meets the council’s housing software needs. The contract went to Locata, an SME software supplier, demonstrating that a supplier of this scale was selected. The procurement gives no further detail on technical standards, accreditations, implementation requirements or service capacity, so these cannot be inferred as requirements.
