## Summary

Nottingham City Council procured a subscription to the Housing Perks App, a software service intended to help tenants manage cost-of-living pressures and reduce rent arrears. The requirement is categorised as custom software development services and sits within the wider services category. Delivery is for the East Midlands. The buyer is Nottingham City Council, based in Nottingham. The opportunity is relevant to software providers offering tenant-facing digital services, particularly platforms that provide practical financial support and can contribute to improved rent payment outcomes. It may also suit smaller businesses, as the procurement identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The service is centred on supplying access to an existing or developed app rather than construction, physical goods or general housing management.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure below the threshold. Bids were due by 11 May 2026 at 12:00. The estimated procurement value was £45,000, and the contract was awarded to Rainly Ltd for £45,000. The award date was 11 May 2026. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 1 June 2029. The published process identifies one service requirement and does not divide it into lots. The evaluation basis recorded for the procurement is the open-procedure process, with the award made to the selected supplier. The award is active, and the procurement status is complete. The contract covers subscription to the Housing Perks App for Nottingham City Council’s tenant-support objectives.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to provide a reliable tenant-facing app or custom software service that addresses cost-of-living pressures in a practical way. Evidence that the platform can support housing tenants, present useful financial or cost-saving information and contribute to reduced rent arrears would be directly relevant. Suppliers should be able to manage a subscription service for a public-sector housing context, maintain the application and support continued use by tenants. Experience connecting digital services with housing outcomes, user support and clear reporting would strengthen a competitor’s position. The award also shows that Nottingham City Council has used an open, below-threshold route for a focused software service, creating a relevant reference point for smaller technology businesses preparing for similar council requirements.
