This exercise is in the planning stage with an engagement milestone scheduled for 1st April 2026. The objective is to find suitable suppliers who can configure and build low code solutions tailored for procurement processes. Businesses interested have until this date to express their interest by completing a preliminary questionnaire to be considered for further engagement. This tender presents significant opportunities for IT services providers, particularly those specialised in consulting, software development, Internet, and support. Companies with robust e-tendering and e-procurement solutions, especially those familiar with public sector requirements and capable of providing transparent and high-probity solutions, will find this engagement advantageous. SMEs are encouraged to apply, as they are deemed suitable for this contract, potentially extending until March 2031. Participation in this engagement exercise offers businesses the chance to influence future procurement processes and develop solutions that meet the evolving needs of social housing and the wider public sector. ## Notice Procure Plus are a value focused, not for profit company that specialises in the procurement of goods and services related to both the new build, repair, and maintenance of social housing. Procure Plus are a leading central procurement authority delivering commercial tools and procurement solutions for social housing and the wider public sector. To support the growth in its customer base, Procure Plus is reviewing the suitability of its legacy tender management system. Procure Plus would like to engage with organisations who have experience of delivering and providing e-tendering and e-procurement solutions to public sector organisations (i.e. those organisations who procure and manage frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems) and organisations who are required to demonstrate high levels of probity and transparency in the completion of their procurement. Procure Plus would also like to engage with organisations who are able to configure and build low code solutions for these same purposes. This engagement is with a view to Procure Plus licencing software and the associated service costs for the purposes of undertaking project-based procurement exercises. Suppliers who express an interest in engaging with Procure Plus will be required to complete a short questionnaire that summarises their organisation and experience. To manage the resource of both the suppliers who express an interest in this exercise and Procure Plus, Procure Plus reserves the right to decline to engage with organisations who do not at the time of this engagement exercise provide the software and services described within this notice. Procure Plus does not intend to engage with providers of consultancy services associated with the software described in this notice.
