The authority, Paradigm Housing Group (Paradigm), is advertising a contract opportunity for the supply, implementation and ongoing development and maintenance of a finance system and a housing management system.

This procurement process forms part of a wider programme, its aim is to transform Paradigm’s business and build a foundation to implement and integrate digital technologies. The goal is to gain new data insights and organisational capabilities by transforming operational processes and the customer experience. This will be facilitated by the replacement of our core business system (works) with a commercial off-the-shelf solution.

The procurement process will be conducted as a ‘Competitive Procedure with Negotiation’ with two separate lots, however potential suppliers will be able to bid for one or both lots.

Paradigm wishes to secure the required technical and system capability from the minimal number of suppliers, ideally a maximum of one for each lot. Suppliers for each lot will be the prime contractor where necessary.
