Summary of the contracting process

Cairn Housing Association is procuring a cloud-based health and safety management software solution for its housing stock and operational estate. The service must provide one integrated platform covering health and safety, compliance, risk management and contractor activities. Required functionality includes configurable workflows, mobile working, automation and reporting, with integration with Microsoft 365 and Power BI. The system must also be accessible to third parties. This is a software and associated service requirement, classified under computer software programming and consultancy services (CPV 72212100). Delivery is through remote access to an Edinburgh-based network, supporting the association’s operations in Edinburgh. The procurement is managed by Cairn Housing Association, a housing association and central purchasing body.

The procurement reached tender: Cairn Housing Association invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. There is one lot. Bids were due by 14 September 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening scheduled for 12:30 the same day; evaluation was scheduled to begin at 12:30. The contract period is 1,080 days, with an option to extend into a fourth and fifth year, described as a 3+1+1-year arrangement. Bids must remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline. Submissions must be in English, variants are not allowed, and bidders must provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits software providers with a mature cloud platform for managing health and safety, compliance, risk and contractor relationships in a housing or similarly operational environment. Strong candidates will be able to configure workflows, support mobile users, automate routine processes and provide practical management reporting. The ability to integrate reliably with Microsoft 365 and Power BI is important, as is secure access for third parties. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the people and technical capability to implement, support and maintain a system across a housing association’s stock and operational estate. It is particularly relevant to providers with experience of multi-user platforms, contractor management, compliance tracking and data sharing, and with suitably qualified delivery staff.
