Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council, a regional authority based in Truro, UK, has completed the procurement process for developing and implementing a Highways Asset Management software system. Classified under the industry category of Software package and information systems, this procurement was managed through a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at GBP 422,366, was signed on 25th March 2025, and awarded to WDM Ltd, a supplier based in Bristol. The procurement is crucial for providing continuous and critical services to the council and residents, ensuring key processes and Highway Authority functions are maintained.

This tender presents opportunities for software development firms, particularly those specialising in asset management systems, to engage with local authorities on essential infrastructure projects. Although the contract has already been awarded to a specific supplier, similar future tenders could offer substantial growth potential for businesses that can provide technical solutions where competition is limited. Companies capable of delivering customised software solutions for public services would be well-suited to compete in such procurement processes.
