FAQ
Practical questions about PREEMPT.
Short answers on coverage, contacts, contracts, pricing, onboarding and where PREEMPT fits in a social housing sales process.
Who is PREEMPT for?
PREEMPT is for suppliers and manufacturers selling into GB social housing. It is most useful for sales directors, business development teams, regional managers, specification teams and market insight leads who need to decide which landlords deserve relationship time before tenders appear.
Is PREEMPT a tender portal?
No. PREEMPT is social housing procurement intelligence, not a generic tender feed. Tender portals tell you a notice exists. PREEMPT helps you understand the landlord, the current supplier, the contract timing, the likely route to market and the people worth speaking to earlier.
What landlord coverage does it hold?
PREEMPT tracks Housing Associations, Local Authorities, ALMOs and group structures across GB social housing, with organisation, office, stock, contract, contact and procurement context held inside the platform.
How are contacts checked?
Primary contacts are checked by a researcher and reviewed at least every 12 months. A listing on the landlord’s own website stands on its own; weaker sources need corroboration from recent published material. An abandoned LinkedIn profile does not count.
Do you use scraped or purchased email data?
No. Email addresses appear only where they have been published in a public source and checked by hand. We do not buy contact data and we do not scrape it from other providers.
Why is there no published price list?
PREEMPT is scoped around modules, business criteria, sales regions and training. A flat public tariff would either be misleading or would expose configuration assumptions that are better handled in a scoping conversation.
How quickly can a team start using PREEMPT?
Onboarding depends on the modules, regions and business criteria agreed. The important setup work is making PREEMPT match the way your sales team already thinks about patches, landlord types and opportunity areas.
Does PREEMPT replace relationship-building?
No. PREEMPT helps your team decide where relationship-building is worth the time, and gives them a practical reason to speak to the right landlord before procurement starts.
