The requirement covers software and information systems, implementation services and ongoing software support, with Microsoft Dynamics 365 remaining at the centre of the organisation’s future technology landscape. The solution is intended to modernise business processes, improve data quality, enhance residents’ experience and replace legacy housing management functionality. It should help create a single, reliable source of operational and management information. The buyer is based in Exeter, and the work will support Cornerstone Housing’s housing management operations rather than a general-purpose software deployment. This procurement is at the planning stage: Cornerstone Housing Limited has stated its intention to procure but has not issued an invitation to tender. The planned contract is expected to run from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2030, with a possible extension to 29 February 2032. The buyer has scheduled preliminary market engagement and expects interested suppliers to review the PME document and respond to its questions by 2 October 2026. Responses are to be submitted electronically through the buyer’s supplier portal. The procurement is arranged as a single lot. The record sets out an intention to buy an off-the-shelf solution, but does not establish a tender procedure or award basis at this stage. The requirement is likely to suit software vendors and implementation partners with an established cloud-based housing management product, particularly suppliers able to support Microsoft Dynamics 365 as the core technology landscape. Relevant capability includes configuring and integrating housing management functionality, migrating or improving legacy data, supporting data governance and establishing a dependable source of operational and management information. Suppliers should be able to deliver a multi-year transformation rather than only provide licences, with implementation, change support and ongoing software support forming part of the expected requirement. The opportunity is explicitly marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist product firms and capable delivery partners may wish to prepare for future procurement activity. ## Notice Cornerstone Housing Limited is undertaking a multi-year digital transformation programme through its Knowledge & Information Management (KIM) Strategy. The strategy seeks to modernise business processes, improve data quality, enhance the resident experience and replace legacy housing management functionality with modern cloud-based solutions. A fundamental principle of the strategy is the creation of a single source of truth for operational and management information, with Microsoft Dynamics 365 remaining at the core of Cornerstone's future technology landscape. Further information is available in the PME Document attached. ### Planning Information Review the attached PME Document and respond to the questions by the deadline.
