## Summary

Aster Group Limited has procured Aareon housing software as a hosted service. The package comprises QL, its core housing system; the Versaa base licence for mobile working; mobile modules providing operative and repairs forms; hosting for the customer portal; and support for My Aster, the tenant portal. The software is intended to support more than 600 users. The requirement combines housing-management software with mobile-working tools, portal hosting and ongoing customer-portal support, rather than a standalone software licence. Delivery is in England. The procurement is classified as services and covers software supply and related support and implementation activity.

The procurement is complete and Aareon UK Limited was selected for the contract. The award was made on 7 June 2026, with a contract period from 7 June 2026 to 6 July 2029. The awarded value is £1,067,580. The requirement was placed as a call-off under Lot 3 (Software) of the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework, using the framework call-off terms. The tender deadline was 5 June 2026. The published details do not set out a separate scoring formula or evaluation weighting. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, although the selected supplier is Aareon UK Limited.

For housing-software suppliers, this award shows Aster Group’s demand for an integrated housing-management platform serving a user base of more than 600. A credible competitor would need to offer a core housing package alongside mobile tools for operatives and repairs, hosted tenant-portal capability and continuing portal support. The requirement is broader than supplying software alone: suppliers need to deliver a joined-up service covering the platform, mobile working, hosting and support. The procurement was routed through a named software lot in a central government technology framework, so suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need relevant framework access and the ability to contract on call-off terms. The selected provider was an established software supplier; firms should be able to demonstrate the capacity and housing-sector fit to support a service of this scale.
