Summary of the contracting process

The Wheatley Housing Group Limited is exploring a contract and supplier management software system and associated services for the Group and its subsidiaries. The intended system would bring contract and supplier management into one shared source of information. Its planned functionality includes supplier registration and onboarding, risk and compliance management, insurance and certification tracking, performance and KPI management, contract records and document storage, and alerts for contract expiry and renewal. It is also expected to support e-signatures, credit-checking integration, community-benefit tracking, ESG and sustainability assessments, reporting dashboards, workflow automation and commodity-focused spend analysis. The system is intended to connect with Microsoft 365, Power BI and Wheatley’s iPOS e-procurement system. The buyer is based in Glasgow.

This process is at the planning stage: Wheatley Group is undertaking market engagement to explore delivery options, rather than inviting bids. The buyer expects to publish a future notice on 15 March 2027; this is an indicative date, not a bid deadline. The planned procurement is for services and covers a single lot. The intended procedure and contract value have not been established in the information available at this stage. The market engagement is intended to inform the buyer’s options for the software system and associated services.

The work is likely to suit software providers able to supply and support an integrated contract and supplier management platform for a housing group and its subsidiaries. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate capabilities spanning onboarding, risk and compliance controls, certification tracking, contract and vetting-document management, audit trails, performance reporting, renewals, workflow automation and community-benefit monitoring. Integration capability will be important, particularly with Microsoft 365, Power BI and the buyer’s iPOS e-procurement system, as well as e-signature and credit-checking services. The buyer is seeking software that is AI-ready, accessible and cost-efficient, with multifactor authentication and passkeys. Providers with experience delivering a dependable shared system across multiple organisations may be well placed to engage as the buyer develops its requirements.
