Requirements
- Must be a supplier already listed on the G Cloud 14 framework
- Software must support temporary accommodation management for homeless service-users
- Services must include software-enabled support (not just software alone)
- Must be able to serve Crawley Borough Council's homeless population

- Deliver support services to help homeless or at-risk individuals using the software
- Enable case management and service delivery tracking for homeless service-users
- Maintain and support the software system for Crawley Borough Council
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'call-off' via direct award — it means the council has already selected a supplier from G Cloud 14. If you're not on that framework already, you cannot bid on this specific contract, but you can apply to G Cloud 14 for future opportunities.
- 2G Cloud 14 is the government's digital marketplace for cloud services and software. Check if your solution is already listed there.
- 3The full tender documents will specify: how many homeless people the system must handle, what data it must capture, integration requirements with council systems, and support service levels.
- 4Look for the contract value and duration in the full notice — this tells you the financial size of the commitment.
- 5Check whether the council wants a hosted/cloud solution or an on-premises system, as this affects pricing and ongoing costs.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're not on G Cloud 14 yet, apply separately to the framework. Once listed, you become eligible for future direct awards and open tenders from public bodies.
- Temporary accommodation software is specialist — emphasise any existing case studies with councils or charities managing homelessness, safeguarding experience, and GDPR compliance for vulnerable groups.
- Consider whether you can deliver both software and wraparound support services (the tender asks for 'software-enabled support services', not just a tool) — this may require partnerships with support charities or training delivery if you're a pure software vendor.
