## Summary

The procurement process is led by the Uttlesford District Council for the contract titled "Software for Housing, Revenues and Benefits". This contract, classified under the CPV code for Database and operating software packages, is located in the East of England. The procurement method employed was a selective process utilising competitive dialogue above the threshold, with the tender period closing on 14 December 2017. A five-year contract was awarded on 14 December 2017, commencing on 1 February 2018 and concluding on 31 January 2023, with a total contract value of £86,856,534.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in software solutions, particularly those specialising in housing management systems and public sector IT services. Companies that provide integrated software solutions or possess expertise in managing large databases and operational software packages would be well-positioned to compete in future procurement processes. Given the council’s long-standing use of Northgate software, potential suppliers must demonstrate high capabilities in supporting and enhancing such systems in a hosted environment.

## Notice

The council has a licence to use "Northgate" software - a package of modules for Housing Management (to include Estates and Rents Allocations, Homelessness, Repairs, Planned Maintenance, House Purchase, Contractors Systems, Works Orders and Service Charges) and Revenues and Benefits (to include Council Tax, Housing and Council Tax Benefits, IB/SEA, Local Housing Allowance, San Applications, Work Flows, landlord Portal, PMQA and SPA Manager) along with Auddis and Addacs, and integrators for both systems- that has been in place since 1998 as a result of a competitive tender. A five year contract has been awarded to continue use of the same software in a hosted environment.
