The proposed service is a secure, cloud-based platform for asset information, safety case records, compliance documentation, change control, BIM integration, reporting and regulatory assurance. It would support approximately 20,000 dwellings, including 44 higher-risk buildings. The requirement includes software and information systems, together with related IT consultancy, implementation, integration, support and data migration services. Delivery is associated with Wolverhampton and the wider housing asset portfolio managed by the buyer. Suppliers with relevant housing, property information and building safety technology are the intended market audience. This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a preliminary market engagement, not an invitation to tender. The engagement commenced on 23 September 2026, with supplier responses expected by noon on 13 October 2026. Remote demonstrations and clarification meetings may follow, with dates to be confirmed. Feedback will help shape the future specification, procurement strategy and route to market, and participation will not form part of any later formal evaluation. The proposed contract is expected to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031, with a possible extension to 31 March 2032. The estimated value is £350,000 excluding VAT, or £420,000 including VAT. One planned lot covers the complete requirement. The engagement is suited to suppliers offering established or adaptable asset information, property compliance or building safety management platforms, particularly those already working with housing providers. The buyer is seeking evidence of secure cloud delivery at significant portfolio scale, including the ability to manage information across around 20,000 homes and 44 higher-risk buildings. Relevant capability includes safety case and compliance record management, controlled change processes, BIM integration, reporting and regulatory assurance. Suppliers should be ready to explain implementation methodology, integration with existing systems, data migration, support arrangements and commercial models. Experience in the housing and building safety sectors will be relevant when the future procurement reaches the market. This is an opportunity to influence the emerging requirement and prepare a credible technical and delivery proposition, rather than bid for a contract now. ## Notice The Council is undertaking a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to inform the future procurement of an Asset Information Management System (AIMS) to support the management of the Golden Thread of Information and compliance with the Building Safety Act 2022. The proposed solution will be required to provide a secure, cloud-based platform capable of managing asset information, safety case records, compliance documentation, change control processes, BIM integration, reporting and regulatory assurance across approximately 20,000 dwellings, including 44 Higher Risk Buildings. The PME will seek supplier feedback on available solutions, implementation approaches, integration capabilities, data migration requirements, commercial models and market capacity to support the future delivery of the service. ### Planning Information The City of Wolverhampton Council and Wolverhampton Homes are undertaking a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to inform the future procurement of an Asset Information Management System (AIMS) to support the management of the Golden Thread of Information and compliance with the Building Safety Act 2022. Suppliers are invited to provide information on their solutions, implementation approach, integration capabilities, data migration services, commercial models and experience within the housing and building safety sector. The PME will be conducted through the Council's e-tendering portal, Proactis. The engagement commenced on 23 September 2026 and responses must be submitted by 5:00 noon on 13 October 2026. Supplier demonstrations and clarification meetings may be held remotely following the evaluation of responses, with dates to be confirmed.
