## Summary

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive procured a vehicle telematics system for its Direct Labour Organisation, which provides response and void property maintenance. The system supports a fleet of approximately 300 vehicles and 80 items of grounds machinery. The requirement covers telematics software and associated computer systems for the organisation’s operational vehicles and grounds equipment. Delivery is in Northern Ireland. The contract is held by Simplicity Group Ltd, a Belfast-based supplier. The requirement relates specifically to fleet telematics for the Housing Executive’s maintenance operations, rather than general IT services or software procurement.

The contract was awarded to Simplicity Group Ltd and is recorded as active. It was signed on 2 April 2019, with an original period of 60 months and extension options of up to 24 months. The contract was subsequently extended by eight months, from 2 April to 1 December 2026. The Housing Executive is now modifying the contract to extend it by a further 24 months, to 1 December 2028; any price increase is capped at 50% of the original contract value. The recorded contract value is £860,000. The modification is justified by the buyer’s strategic review of its telematics system, including potential additional fleet hardware, and the aim of avoiding implementation duplication and operational disruption while the review is completed.

The award shows continuing demand from the Northern Ireland Housing Executive for telematics supporting a sizeable operational fleet and grounds machinery used in property maintenance. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate a vehicle telematics system suited to both vehicles and machinery, alongside the capacity to support deployment and ongoing operation across a fleet of this scale. The buyer’s review includes the possibility of adding hardware across its fleet, so suppliers should be able to address system and hardware requirements together and adapt to the organisation’s evolving operational needs. The incumbent extension was intended to avoid duplicated implementation costs and disruption, making a clear approach to migration, continuity and value important in competing when this requirement next comes to market.
