Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council has recently completed a public procurement process to acquire management software for Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) in the region. The contract, titled "HWRC Management Software," falls under the industry category of software package and information systems. It aims to establish a data capture platform to manage operations across all 14 HWRC sites in Staffordshire. The procurement was carried out as a limited process, bypassing the prior publication of a call for competition, and an award was made to Whitespace Work Software Ltd. This active contract was signed on 13th November 2025 and is valued at £34,975. The primary address for the delivery of goods is within the region coded UKG24 in Staffordshire.

This procurement provides substantial opportunities for businesses in the software and information systems sector, particularly those specialising in environmental data solutions and compliance auditing. The contract's focus on continuous improvement suggests a need for innovative approaches and may encourage SMEs or larger tech companies with advanced data management capabilities to engage in similar future tenders. The rich potential for expanding the data capture processes, especially in compliance auditing, can drive growth for suppliers skilled in developing adaptable, high-impact software solutions. Business operators capable of offering cutting-edge, bespoke systems for local authorities like Staffordshire County Council will find themselves well-positioned to compete effectively in this domain.
