Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured BridgeStation, an advanced bridge management system, together with related software services. The requirement is for a specialist digital system used to manage information and activities associated with bridges, rather than for construction or physical maintenance works. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester. Delivery is associated with the council’s area in West Sussex, in the South East of England, with the named address at West Street, Chichester. This opportunity is relevant to software providers, technology consultancies and bridge or infrastructure asset-management specialists able to supply an established advanced bridge management solution to a local authority.

The procurement has been awarded and the process is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions due by 18 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The awarded contract value is £66,720 including the stated currency of GBP. West Sussex County Council awarded the contract to FSW IT SOLUTIONS on 25 March 2026. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. The requirement was evaluated as a services procurement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. One supplier is recorded as receiving the award.

This award provides a clear example of demand from West Sussex County Council for a dedicated bridge management platform delivered through a framework call-off. It is commercially relevant to SMEs and other suppliers with a proven advanced bridge management system, software-related service capability and experience supporting public-sector asset owners. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show that its platform can organise and support bridge-related information and management activity, with dependable implementation and ongoing service provision. Suppliers combining infrastructure asset-management knowledge with software delivery and local-authority customer support would be well placed. The named supplier’s SME status also indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large technology provider.
