Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council procured a waste management software system to support its business-critical waste and recycling collections function. The requirement is for software and information systems rather than physical waste collection, recycling infrastructure or general IT support. The system is intended to help the council manage its collection operations in Pembrokeshire. The buyer is a Welsh sub-central public authority applying Welsh devolved procurement regulations. The awarded supplier is Routeware Ltd, an SME specialising in software for waste and recycling operations. Businesses assessing this requirement should therefore have a product or service specifically suited to local-authority waste collection management, including the operational processes and information needs of a council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to Routeware Ltd. The award is active, and the contract is also active. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £62,298 excluding VAT and £75,513.60 including VAT. The contract covers the waste management software system for Pembrokeshire County Council. The available outcome shows a single supplier and a single contract, rather than a multi-supplier framework or a procurement divided between competing providers. The published route was a non-competitive below-threshold direct award.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Pembrokeshire County Council for a business-critical platform supporting waste and recycling collection management. A credible future competitor would need a mature software product designed for local-authority collection operations, rather than a generic business application. Relevant capability is likely to include managing collection services, operational information and the workflows needed to support recycling and waste teams. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that their system can underpin a council function where service continuity is important, and that they can provide dependable implementation, support and ongoing system management. Routeware Ltd’s selection indicates that specialist waste-management software expertise and suitability for an SME-scale supplier were relevant commercial signals.
