## Summary

Tower Hamlets commissioned a replacement and expansion of its health and housing IT system to support the borough’s Selective Licensing scheme. The current scheme covers three wards; the planned expansion aims to cover 90% of the borough. The requirement is for IT services, including the system needed to support this licensing work. Delivery is in Tower Hamlets, London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Metastreet Ltd through a direct award. The award was made on 28 May 2026, at a value of £153,000. The estimated procurement range was £153,000 to £200,000. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 1 June 2029. The original tender deadline was 15 May 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are described.

This award demonstrates Tower Hamlets’ demand for specialist health and housing IT to support selective property licensing, including expansion from ward-level coverage towards a borough-wide scheme. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to show they can replace and extend an operational system, and support licensing administration at substantial borough scale. Relevant experience in housing or local-authority licensing systems, dependable implementation and ongoing support would be commercially pertinent. The selected supplier is an SME, and the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller specialist provider was considered capable of delivering this requirement. The direct-award route was used for this contract; competitors should treat the award as evidence of the buyer’s requirement, not an invitation to bid.

## Notice

The service is looking to renew and expand its Selective Licensing scheme in October 2026. The current scheme covers 3 wards within the borough; the new scheme aims to go borough wide aiming to cover 90% of the borough
