## Summary

The London Borough of Lewisham procured software for a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) managing and sourcing temporary accommodation. The system is intended to improve how the council manages accommodation suppliers, checks compliance, controls costs and delivers homelessness services. This is a software supply service for use by Lewisham in London. The requirement is relevant to suppliers of housing, accommodation-management or procurement software, particularly platforms that support a DPS or similar route for sourcing temporary accommodation. The selected solution is described as Access Adam Housing, supplied by Access UK Limited (The Access Group), indicating a need for software that can support operational accommodation workflows as well as supplier and compliance management. The procurement is categorised as services, with software supply as the identified activity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award under the YPO 1231 Commissioning Solutions 2 Framework, a single-supplier framework that permits award without further competition. Access UK Limited was selected on 22 September 2026. The award is valued at £216,058 excluding VAT and £259,270 including VAT. The contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 20 September 2029, with signature scheduled for 2 October 2026 and the standstill period ending on 1 October 2026. Lewisham assessed the solution as the most advantageous option based on value for money, quality, implementation timescales, procurement compliance and risk management. The procurement comprised one lot, identified as suitable for SMEs.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Lewisham’s demand for specialist software supporting temporary-accommodation sourcing and management. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a mature platform capable of operating a dynamic purchasing system, bringing accommodation suppliers into a controlled process, and supporting supplier management, compliance checks and cost control. It would also need to demonstrate practical benefits for homelessness-service delivery rather than offering generic procurement software. The decision shows that quality, value for money, implementation timescales, procurement compliance and risk management matter alongside functionality. Suppliers with evidence of reliable implementation, strong governance and effective accommodation-sector workflows would be well placed to compete when this type of requirement returns.
