Summary of the contracting process

Bedford Borough Council has completed a public procurement process for the provision of Highways Asset Management Services Software, under the CPV code 72268000, which pertains to software supply services. The process was executed via a limited procurement method without prior publication, utilising the YPO 1095 Framework due to it being outside the general application of procurement directives. The contract, which was signed on 1st December 2025 for £1,043,685.70, is classified as a service and targets the East of England region, specifically within the UKH code location. The project has reached the award and contract stage with Symology UK Ltd selected as the supplier.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in software services catering to regional or local authorities. As the procurement was executed through a framework agreement, companies already part of such frameworks stand to benefit most. It signifies favourable prospects for large-scale suppliers like Symology UK Ltd, but there remain potential growth opportunities for companies seeking to establish their presence within public sector software services, particularly in asset management solutions across the East of England.
