Summary of the contracting process

The Community Housing Group Ltd is planning to procure a risk management system for its housing organisation. The system is intended to support identification, assessment, monitoring and reporting of strategic and operational risks, alongside management of risks, controls, assurances and actions. It should also produce comprehensive governance reports directly from the system and support assurance mapping and the three lines of defence model. The requirement is for software and associated supply services. Delivery is in the West Midlands, England.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has set out its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The buyer expects one lot, with a contract period planned from 2 November 2027 to 2 November 2028 and a possible extension to 2 November 2032. The only stated date at this stage relates to planned market engagement: the buyer expects completed pre-market questionnaire responses by 1pm on 12 November 2026. Interested businesses are invited to request the questionnaire by email. The estimated procurement is below the applicable threshold; no budget or contract value is stated. No procurement method, selection requirements or evaluation criteria have yet been set out.

This requirement is likely to suit suppliers of risk management software with products that bring strategic and operational risk processes together in one system. Relevant capabilities include risk identification and assessment, ongoing monitoring and reporting, and workflows for managing controls, assurances and actions. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate robust governance reporting generated from the platform, as well as assurance mapping and support for the three lines of defence model. The buyer has explicitly indicated that the procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The planned market engagement gives potential providers a chance to share relevant market knowledge through the questionnaire before the buyer develops its procurement. Firms with experience supplying risk and assurance systems to housing organisations may find the requirements particularly relevant.
