Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Borough Council is procuring an integrated highways asset software application. The requirement falls within IT services, including software development and support, and is described as “Integrated Highways Asset 2026”. The system is for highways asset management; the procurement data does not describe specific modules or functions. Delivery is in England, with the buying authority based in Birkenhead, Wirral. This is a software application purchase rather than a works contract. The procurement was routed through YPO’s software application solutions framework, Lot 4, as a direct award. The stated category is goods, although the classification describes IT services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Symology Ltd on 7 October 2026. The award value is £840,000. The contract period runs from 14 October 2026 to 13 October 2032. The stated route was a direct award through YPO’s software application solutions framework, Lot 4. This was a single award to one supplier. The tender record gives an estimated procurement value of £840,000, matching the awarded value. Its response deadline was 5 October 2026 at 12 noon. No evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility requirements are recorded. Wirral Borough Council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, while the selected supplier is recorded as an SME.

For suppliers considering future work of this kind with Wirral Borough Council, this award demonstrates demand for an integrated highways asset management software application, sourced through a public-sector framework rather than a new open competition. A credible competitor would need to supply and support suitable software and show that it can meet the council’s highways asset management needs. The award to an SME shows that a smaller software supplier was selected, despite the council’s recorded suitability settings, though it does not establish that the work is within the capacity of every SME. The six-year contract indicates a sustained requirement for the application. Experience delivering comparable software and supporting it over a long contract would therefore be commercially relevant; the published procurement does not describe specific technical features or accreditation requirements.
