Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council, through SWISCo Ltd., has completed a procurement process to ensure the continuity and efficiency of its highway asset management within Torbay, United Kingdom. The tender, titled "Highway Asset Management System," falls under the goods category with a focus on industry-specific software. The procurement was executed via a direct award method due to the need for system compatibility, selecting Causeway Technologies Ltd as the supplier. This process, driven by statutory requirements, ensures the seamless transition from the existing Mayrise system, which is nearing the end of its lifecycle. The contract, valued at £701,694 gross, is set to commence on 1st July 2026 and conclude on 30th June 2031, keeping continuity in highway and asset data management a priority.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software development and maintenance, particularly those focused on public sector requirements. Causeway Technologies Ltd, an SME, was deemed the most suitable due to its technical alignment and economic advantages with existing systems, eliminating the need for disruptive changes. Similar businesses with expertise in software that ensures data continuity and integration would find such projects within public infrastructure maintenance an excellent avenue for growth. This procurement underscores a stable environment for companies that can provide high compatibility solutions and manage transitions seamlessly without compromising statutory operations.

Notice Title

Highway Asset Management System

Notice Description

SWISCo and Torbay Council have a statutory duty to maintain the adopted highway network within Torbay. In order to help achieve this, the authority uses a highway asset management system. The current highway asset management system in use by SWISCo is Mayrise. Mayrise is nearing end of life/developer support and a replacement system is required to ensure continuity of service whilst preserving existing data.

Procurement Information

Switching suppliers would introduce incompatibilities with existing data and workflows, effectively requiring the Authority to rebuild its highways and asset records from scratch. The resources, disruption, and compliance risks associated with such a change would far exceed any potential savings. Continuity of service and preservation of more than a decade of statutory highways and asset data is essential. A direct award is therefore justified, as Causeway provides the lowest-risk and most economically advantageous route for SWISCo to transition from Mayrise. Because the current and successor platforms share the same technical lineage, this approach ensures continuity of statutory data, preserves established workflows and integrations, and avoids the substantial cost, disruption, and validation effort associated with procuring and implementing an alternative supplier.
