ABOUT US
We are run as a not-for-profit company formed and controlled by its seven member organisations:
These organisations form the Locata Board and meet quarterly to ensure Locata continues to fulfil its objective of delivering value for money by providing efficient and high-quality IT system for local authorities nationwide.
We do this by creating cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) systems to help councils manage their housing options services efficiently.
Every system we have developed has been designed in partnership with the local housing teams we serve. Many have been created following requests from housing officers for specific functionality needed for dealing effectively with applicants in their own particular scheme area.
We bring the same personal ethos to every scheme we support – whether it is a small stand-alone system serving a single district council area or a big and complex sub-regional scheme spanning counties and linking more than a dozen local authority partners and scores of housing associations.

Ross has been an independent Board member since 2013 and took over as Independent Chair in March 2020 on the retirement of the previous Chair, David Smith.
