Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Waste Inventory Management System (WIMS) 2.0" project has been completed by the buying organisation NRS, based in Warrington. The contract, awarded to Ernst & Young LLP, involves the development of WIMS 2.0 software and was executed under the CPV code 72262000, indicating its relation to software development services. The tender followed a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract valued at £526,550. Geographically, the project pertains to various regions, including the United Kingdom and other global locations, highlighting its expansive scope. The award was announced on 3rd September 2025, with the contract period running from 22nd September 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth in the software development sector, particularly for businesses capable of delivering advanced software solutions on a global scale.

Such tenders involve intricate technical requirements and international delivery capabilities, offering considerable scope for expanded market presence and the chance to secure further high-value projects.
