Procurement software for housing consortia.
Housing procurement consortia aggregate purchasing for many landlords, standing up frameworks that members call off against for repairs, maintenance, materials and retrofit. eSourcingData gives a consortium one platform to run compliant frameworks centrally and let each member landlord run its own call-offs, all with a full PA23-ready audit trail.
A platform built for housing consortia
Housing procurement consortia, in the mould of the aggregated buying bodies that serve social landlords, pool demand across many housing associations and ALMOs to secure better terms on repairs, materials, maintenance and retrofit. Their central task is establishing compliant frameworks and dynamic markets that members can then buy through. eSourcingData supports that whole model in one platform.
A housing framework only delivers if members can use it simply and defensibly. eSourcingData is multi-member and multi-account, so each landlord runs its own call-offs and mini-competitions in its own account while drawing on the consortium's central frameworks. Members get an easy, compliant route to award, and the consortium retains oversight of how its frameworks are being used across the membership.
Housing spend has to demonstrate value for money to boards and the Regulator of Social Housing, and publicly funded works fall under the Procurement Act 2023. The platform is built for PA23 from the ground up, with automated Find a Tender and Contracts Finder publication, so both the consortium's framework notices and each member's call-off awards are published and evidenced correctly.
