## Summary

Lanarkshire Housing Association Limited has completed a procurement process for upgrading its housing management software. The contract, valued at £216,000, was awarded to Designer Software Ltd, effective from 10th December 2025. The procurement process, classified within the services category, specifically IT services, was conducted without prior publication of a call for competition due to technical reasons. This involves an intra-group graduation to a new software solution, HomeMaster, replacing the ActiveH desktop system. Located in Motherwell, the association plans to keep the new system operational until August 2027. The contract falls under a limited procurement method and is covered by the GPA regulations.

The singular focus on upgrading the Lanarkshire Housing Association's management software may present an opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly in software consultancy and development. Companies with experience in providing or upgrading housing management systems could benefit from understanding the specific requirements and constraints within the public sector. Although the procurement was limited due to technical reasons, businesses that offer similar technological capabilities may still benefit by exploring future opportunities with Lanarkshire Housing Association or comparable organisations facing similar upgrade requirements by 2027. Being informed about intra-group solutions and how they can pertain to future contracts can aid businesses in strategic planning and fostering growth in this niche field.
