Homes in Somerset and Somerset Council are reviewing their current housing management solutions to enable a procurement exercise to take place if it is discovered that there have been sufficient IT advancements in the housing solution market to benefit from a new tender being issued. At this stage it is anticipated that an open market tender will be released in the future but we reserve the right to cancel this process if the market is unable to provide sufficient enhancements to the current solution that is used. This early market engagement activity will give suppliers an opportunity to showcase to HIS/SC what can be achieved
