Summary of the contracting process

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council procured highways improvement software as a goods requirement. The purchase covers a software package and information system intended to support the council’s highways improvement activity. Delivery is associated with Dudley, England, with the council based at Council House in Dudley. The requirement was placed through the G-Cloud 14 framework agreement, under its highways improvement software category. The procurement was managed by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, which will use the software for its local highways responsibilities. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to software suppliers serving public-sector highways or local-government users.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council used a selective call-off procedure from a framework agreement. The award was made to SocietyWorks Ltd on 10 July 2026 for £138,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 July 2027. The original tender submission deadline was 6 July 2026 at 12:00. The purchase was evaluated as a single software requirement rather than separate lots. SocietyWorks Ltd is recorded as the selected supplier, and the contract value matches the estimated procurement value of £138,000. The procurement formed a call-off under the G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement, reference RM1557.14.

For software businesses that did not win this award, the procurement provides a clear example of Dudley’s demand for dedicated highways improvement software bought through a public-sector framework. Relevant competitors would need a product that can support highways improvement work and be supplied as a software package or information system to a local authority. Experience of selling to councils, understanding public-sector operating requirements and maintaining a reliable service would strengthen credibility, although the published requirement does not identify particular technical accreditations or specialist qualifications. The award also shows that an SME or voluntary, community or social enterprise can be considered suitable for this type of council technology requirement. Suppliers seeking comparable work should therefore maintain an appropriate framework route and demonstrate capability in local-government highways software.
