## Summary

Aster Group Limited bought licences, hosting, support and maintenance for its Aareon QL housing management system, including TaskCentre, QL mobile modules and the Tenant Portal, as well as the hosted Versaa software service. The QL modules cover functions including customer relationship management, property inspections, gas and electrical work, rent and arrears, stock replenishment and voids. The licence covers 36,302 units. This is a software licensing and support service, with delivery in England. The requirement combines continued access to the housing-management products with hosting for Versaa and ongoing technical support and maintenance across the specified system and modules.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Aareon UK Limited. The award date was 5 September 2026, at a value of £889,650. The contract period runs from 7 July 2026 to 6 July 2029. Aster Group used a selective procedure to call off the requirement from a framework agreement, CCS RM6259, Lot 3. The original tender submission deadline was 6 July 2026. The requirement was treated as a single procurement; no separate lot awards are reported. The published data does not set out an evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria, so the basis for selecting the supplier beyond the framework call-off route is not available to summarise.

For suppliers tracking recurring housing-management technology demand at Aster Group, this award shows a substantial, multi-year requirement spanning software licences, hosted SaaS, hosting, support and maintenance. A credible competitor would need to provide or support the Aareon QL housing-management environment and its connected mobile modules, Tenant Portal and Versaa service, while sustaining a licence base of 36,302 units. The range of functions—customer relationship management, inspections, utilities-related work, rent and arrears, stock and voids—points to the importance of broad product coverage and dependable ongoing service, rather than a standalone software sale. The buyer used a call-off from a specified framework, so suppliers would also need a route to market through the relevant framework arrangement to compete for this same requirement.
