## Summary

Breckland District Council procured housing software for its estates function: an Estates module within a housing software system. The contract is for a software package and information system, rather than building work or a housing management service. The council is based in Dereham, Norfolk. The procurement data does not identify a separate delivery location, so the stated place associated with the buying organisation is Dereham. The requirement is narrowly focused on estates software for the council, making it relevant to suppliers that provide housing-sector software and can supply or support an estates module for a local authority. No broader software, property maintenance or housing services scope is indicated.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to LOCATA (HOUSING SERVICES) LIMITED. Breckland District Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 19 October 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029. Its gross value is £36,000. The requirement was handled as a single lot, covering the housing Estates module. No award evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements are recorded in the procurement details. The award is active and the contract is active. These details show a council purchase of a defined software module through a non-competitive route, with the selected supplier and contractual term established.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future estates-software requirement, credibility will depend on a housing-sector product that includes a functional estates module and can serve a district council. LOCATA’s selection shows that a specialist housing software provider can meet the requirement at a modest, focused scale, rather than through a large enterprise-wide transformation. Relevant capability would include supplying and supporting software packages and information systems for council housing estates. The award does not state technical specifications, integration needs, service levels, security standards or required accreditations, so these should not be assumed to have determined the selection. The route used was a direct award without competition; this demonstrates how the council procured this instance, but does not establish what route it would use for a future purchase.
