Summary of the contracting process

Denbighshire County Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of Fleet Management Software, awarded directly to AssetWorks Fleet Solutions Ltd. This decision was based on the incumbent supplier's intellectual property rights and the council’s current usage of the software, avoiding significant disruption and costs associated with changing systems. Located in Ruthin, the software package and related IT services aim to efficiently manage the council's fleet operations. The contract is poised to commence on 2 March 2026 and extend over a period of three years, with options for two additional years, up to a maximum of five years until 2031. This tender is classified within IT services, consulting, software development, Internet and support, under industry categories 72000000 and 48000000.

This contract presents substantial business growth opportunities for large-scale IT service providers capable of delivering comprehensive fleet management solutions. Organisations with expertise in software development and consultancy services will find this tender particularly aligned with their offerings. While the direct award limited competitive bidding, upcoming expiration of the contract in several years offers potential for competitive entries as the council may revisit the market near this term's conclusion. Businesses interested in entering or expanding their market presence in the IT and fleet management sectors in Wales should keenly monitor such procurement announcements to seize forthcoming opportunities.

Notice Title

Fleet Management Software

Notice Description

Provision of a Fleet Management for the accurate and efficient management of the Council's fleet and all associated operations. The Council are intending to Direct Award to Assetworks, who are the incumbent supplier of the current software. A transparency notice has been published previously. The contract will be for an initial period of 3 years with the option to extend on a 1 year + 1 year basis up to the maximum contract duration of 5 years.

Procurement Information

Fleet Services are already using the software. Moving to a new system at this time would create significant disruption to services and cost significant sums to move to a new solution at this time without generating any known and significant benefits. Longer term is the intention to revisit the market for possible solutions near to the end of this new maintenance contract. AssetWorks can supply the Software currently installed (Fleet Focus) as they own the IPR. There are no reasonable alternatives due to the current contract coming to an end.
