## Summary

Durham Aged Mineworkers' Homes Association procured an e-sourcing and tendering platform to manage its procurement activity. The service includes Tender Manager for creating notices, tenders, requests for quotation, requests for information and selection questionnaires, with no stated limit on their number. It also includes unlimited contract records and document storage, plus Supplier Manager for searching suppliers and maintaining supplier lists. This is business software and associated IT support services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement is centred on enabling the association to run sourcing exercises, keep procurement records and documents, and find and organise suppliers through the platform.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to BiP Solutions Ltd, which also signed the contract. The association used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract is for services and covers one lot. The award is active, and the contract runs from 18 November 2026 to 17 November 2031. Its value is £31,715 excluding VAT and £38,058 including VAT. The contract was signed on 19 October 2026. The published procurement details do not give a separate award date or a scoring breakdown; the route was a non-competitive direct award, so the process did not compare competing tenders.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to provide a practical e-sourcing platform that supports the full range of procurement notices and exercises, including tenders, requests for quotation, requests for information and selection questionnaires. The service should also handle substantial volumes of contract records and documents, and provide effective tools to search for suppliers and manage supplier lists. The awarded scope indicates that a buyer in the housing sector values a combined platform for sourcing, records management and supplier discovery, rather than a single-purpose tendering tool. Software providers with demonstrable capability in these functions, reliable service delivery and support for public-sector procurement workflows would be well placed to compete when this requirement returns to market.
