Summary of the contracting process

mhs homes group procured Bottomline One PTX, a software package for procurement and related IT processes, including software supply and implementation services. The requirement is for the provision of Bottomline One PTX rather than a broader, separately described technology programme. The work is delivered in Medway, Kent, where mhs homes group is based. The procurement is classified as goods, with implementation and supply services also represented in its scope. The buyer is mhs homes group, a public authority operating at sub-central government level.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. mhs homes group used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for one lot. Bottomline Technologies Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 14 October 2026 and runs from 14 October 2026 to 13 October 2028. Its value is £60,517.86 excluding VAT and £72,621 including VAT. The published procurement information gives no evaluation criteria or competitive scoring basis; the award followed a non-competitive route.

For suppliers tracking future demand from mhs homes group, this award shows a requirement for Bottomline One PTX, covering procurement software and its implementation and supply. A credible competitor would need to provide the relevant software package and the capability to implement it for the buyer, with delivery in Medway. The selected supplier is a large technology company, providing a point of comparison for the scale of provider used. The buyer chose a direct award without competition, so the outcome does not establish that the requirement was tested against competing offers or reveal a scored assessment of supplier capability. The contract period indicates the term over which this specific software provision is in place.
