## Summary

The procurement process was conducted by the Railway Housing Association and Benefit Fund, a sub-central government public authority based in Darlington, United Kingdom. The tender, titled "VCloud Estate Migration and Managed Hosting Service", falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on software support services and application service providers. This tender was necessitated by Civica's withdrawal from the relevant sector in 2025 and aims to provide short-term hosting and management of the Civica CX One on-premise instance. The procurement, which followed a limited competition method below the threshold, has reached the 'Award' stage, with the contract officially signed on 24th July 2026. The contract, valued at £186,500, runs from 24th July 2026 to 23rd July 2028, with potential extensions up to 2029, if needed.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly in providing software support and application service delivery. Small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) experienced in managing IT infrastructure and offering tailored hosting services would be well-suited to undertaking such projects. Given the focus on ensuring continuity and efficiency in hosting services for the Railway Housing Association, businesses that can demonstrate proven expertise and flexibility in IT service management are likely to find this tender beneficial for fostering business growth and exploring further opportunities in the public sector IT solutions domain.

## Notice

Following Civica's withdrawal from the hosting and managed services sector announced in 2025, Railway Housing Association has a requirement for the hosting and management of their Civica CX One on prem instance. This is a short term requirement pending the selection of a new Housing Management System to replace CX One on prem, which is coming to the end of its life.
