Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the Garden Waste Permit Scheme, which involves the printing and management of permit software services. This procurement falls under the "Software package and information systems" category, with additional classification as "Printing and related services." The process was conducted using a selective procurement method and was completed by utilising a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £126,000, is set for the period beginning 20th April 2026 and ending 19th April 2028. The procurement was finalised in the award stage, with the outcome published on 24th April 2026. The services are required to be delivered within the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software and printing services. Westmorland and Furness Council sought a supplier capable of delivering efficient permit printing and software management, targeted towards SMEs rather than VCSE entities. Businesses that provide integrated software solutions with robust permit management capabilities, particularly those experienced in catering to local government requirements, are well-suited to partake in similar procurement initiatives. The awarded contract to Permiserv Limited highlights a lucrative market segment for large-scale enterprises, while also indicating potential entry points for SMEs looking to expand their reach in the public sector.
