## Summary

St Albans City and District Council has procured housing options software to support its housing allocations and homelessness service. This is a software service for council teams delivering those functions, rather than a wider housing works contract. Delivery is in St Albans, in the South East of England. The requirement is classified as software and information systems (CPV 48000000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MRI Software Ltd. The award was made on 10 September 2026, for £144,050.67. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The Council used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 27 August 2026 at 17:00. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No award evaluation criteria are stated in the published process information.

This award shows demand from St Albans City and District Council for software that supports both housing allocations and homelessness services. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement will need to demonstrate that their software can serve these linked operational functions and can be delivered as a service to a council. The Council used a framework call-off, so a credible competitor would also need access to an appropriate framework route and the ability to meet its call-off requirements. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller suppliers could be relevant competitors. The selected supplier is an established software company, showing that experience delivering housing-sector software is commercially relevant to this buyer.
