This tender, completed via the G-Cloud 14 framework, is aimed at enhancing governance and information security. It falls under the services category specifically for software packages and information systems. The contract's scope includes centralising audit findings, automating processes, and maintaining frameworks like ISO27001. The procurement stage is currently marked as 'Award' with the contract starting on 1st July 2025 and lasting until 30th June 2026, covering locations within England, United Kingdom. The total contract value is £34,000 GBP. This procurement process opens up various avenues for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in developing software solutions for governance, risk management, and compliance. The direct procurement method favoured the supplier, HiComply Ltd, suggesting a niche opportunity for businesses offering advanced, customisable software that meets specific certification and auditing needs. Such tenders provide an ideal platform for tech firms focused on security and automation to showcase their innovative solutions and collaborate with public sector entities looking for expert support in digital assurance management. ## Notice With the need for governance and information security becoming ever more prominent, audit reports, findings, actions, certifications and risk and compliance management are now key to Homes England. As a review cycle, these areas are becoming a central feature and priority, with continual assessments allow us to achieve certifications such as ISO27001 and Gov Assure as we follow the guidance of the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) Currently, we are managing the above manually, or through a series of separately managed stakeholder products. This is increasing the effort for the digital assurance team within the OCDDO. We are looking for a product that allows us to centralise all key findings and documents for certifications and audits, as well as something that will support automation in this area. Reporting is currently manual, and again, we would like something that can provide a dashboard/clear overview of our governance/audit findings, benchmarking us against the CAF, supporting us for future inspections. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6d4a72c9-2b25-4714-a4ba-09693d330a61 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Direct award | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Jul 2025 | | Submission deadline | 1 Jun 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 8 Jun 2025 | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2025 - 30 Jun 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £34,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £34,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HOMES ENGLAND (THE NAME ADOPTED BY THE HOMES AND COMMUNITIES AGENCY) | | Locality | NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE4 5BZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Electoral ward | Arthur's Hill | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HICOMPLY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 1 Jul 2025 at 09:15 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6d4a72c9-2b25-4714-a4ba-09693d330a61 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6d4a72c9-2b25-4714-a4ba-09693d330a61 1st July 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/homes-england ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
