## Summary

Clarion Housing Group procured an SMS messaging service: a secure platform for sending UK and international text messages. It must integrate with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and provide delivery reporting, audit logs and high-volume messaging. The service also covers technical support, service management, platform monitoring and optional two-way messaging, with shortcode and long-number capability. This is a specialist business communications and SMS service for a housing group, combining platform provision with ongoing operational support. The contracting information identifies Clarion Housing Group as the buyer; the service location is not stated.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Core Telecom Ltd. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026, with an award value of £165,600 including VAT. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 14 September 2027, with an extension option allowing three further 12-month periods, up to 14 September 2030. Clarion used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The requirement was arranged as one lot. The award information does not state the evaluation criteria or an award date.

This award shows demand from Clarion Housing Group for a secure, high-volume SMS platform integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365, backed by reliable delivery reporting, audit logging, monitoring and ongoing technical and service-management support. Suppliers competing for this specific requirement in future would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver messages in the UK and internationally, integrate with the named CRM platform, and operate a service suitable for sustained high-volume use. Two-way messaging and shortcode or long-number functionality are also relevant capabilities. The contract combines technology with ongoing support, so a credible competitor would need both a dependable platform and the operational capacity to manage and support it over an extended service period.
