## Summary

Great Places Housing Group Limited, located in Manchester, is undertaking a planned procurement process to acquire a Finance Management System, with the procurement falling under the services category. The organisation has earlier conducted preliminary market engagement to refine its procurement strategy for this system, focusing on finance and accounting software packages, and software development services. This engagement included market intelligence meetings held in early 2026. The procurement process, described as a Competitive Flexible Procurement, aims to formally begin in November 2026, with a contract period extending through 2036. The opportunity will involve deployment across several regions in the UK, including UKD3, UKD4, UKD6, and UKE3.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial systems software development and related services, particularly those suitable for SMEs. Companies with expertise in financial software packages and services will find this a valuable prospect to engage with a public authority operating within the sub-central government scope. The extended contract period allows for long-term engagement, potentially fostering enduring business relationships and steady revenue streams. Interested vendors should prepare for the forthcoming notice expected by mid-July 2026, to be well-positioned for competitive participation.

## Notice

Great Places Housing Group (GPHG) envisages conducting a Competitive Flexible Procurement for a finance management system.

### Planning Information

Great Places Housing Group has undertaken preliminary market engagement to inform its approach to a future procurement for a finance system and associated technology.
This engagement comprised a series of structured Market Intelligence Meetings with a range of suppliers operating within the housing management, finance systems, and CRM markets.
The purpose of this engagement was to develop a high-level understanding of:
• Market-wide system capabilities and functional coverage
• Typical architectural approaches and deployment models
• Delivery models, implementation considerations, and associated risks
• Emerging technology trends and future product direction
This activity is intended to support the development of the Authority's procurement strategy, system capabilities prior to the commencement of any formal procurement process.
Nature and Format of Engagement
The engagement consisted of:
• Supplier demonstration sessions conducted via Microsoft Teams
• A consistent and standardised agenda applied across all suppliers
• Time-limited sessions with identical structures and content expectations
Suppliers were instructed to:
• Present generic, product-standard capabilities only
• Avoid any Great Places specific tailoring, configuration, or data
• Provide market-wide insight rather than organisation-specific solutions
All sessions were:
• Conducted in a structured and controlled format
• Recorded for transparency
• Supported by a procurement representative acting as a compliance chaperone
Compliance and Equal Treatment
Great Places confirms that this preliminary market engagement was:
• Strictly non-evaluative, with no scoring, comparison, or assessment of suppliers undertaken
• Designed to ensure equal treatment and transparency, including consistent agendas, time allocations, and instructions to all participants
• Structured to ensure that no supplier was able to obtain an unfair advantage or influence the design of the procurement in a manner that would distort competition
Information captured during the sessions was limited to market-wide insights, and no supplier-specific advantages, comparisons, or preferences were recorded.
Outcomes and Next Steps
The outputs of this engagement will be used by the Authority to:
• Inform procurement strategy and approach
The Authority confirms that:
• The forthcoming procurement will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Procurement Act 2023
