## Summary

Liverpool City Council is buying a social housing allocation system for use by Liverpool City Council, Halton Borough Council, Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council, Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council and Wirral Council. The requirement covers software and information systems, including implementation of the system for the participating councils and its use to support the allocation of social housing. Delivery is across the participating council areas in Merseyside and Halton. Liverpool City Council is the lead buying organisation. The system will serve multiple local authorities, so suppliers should be able to provide a shared solution that supports different councils’ housing allocation operations while meeting their respective service needs. The procurement is categorised as goods, although the requirement combines software provision with implementation and ongoing system support.

The process reached tender: the councils invited offers through an open procedure. The tender was published on 11 September 2026. Questions could be submitted until 25 September 2026 at 23:59, and responses were due by 6 October 2026 at 23:59. Electronic submission is allowed in English through ProContract. The estimated value is £1,755,000 excluding VAT, or £2,106,000 including VAT. The contract period is structured from 1 January 2027 to 30 November 2032; the description refers to an implementation phase followed by five years commencing in November 2027. The contract may be extended in increments for up to four years, with a maximum end date of 30 November 2036. Award is based on quality 35%, demonstration 25%, price 30% and social value 10%.

This opportunity suits software suppliers with a proven social housing allocation platform and the capability to implement it for five public-sector organisations. The requirement is relevant to businesses experienced in configuring, deploying and supporting systems used by councils, particularly where one solution must serve several authorities with potentially different operating arrangements. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate their system, because demonstration accounts for 25% of the evaluation, alongside the broader quality assessment. Commercially competitive pricing matters, with price weighted at 30%, while bidders must also show how they will deliver social value. The councils have identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to both established technology providers and smaller specialist or mission-led organisations.
