Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council procured services to upgrade a weighbridge and its associated software at a council waste depot. The purpose is to enable digital tracking of waste and maintain business continuity in depot operations. The requirement covers weighbridge services, including the technical upgrade and the software needed to support the upgraded equipment. The buying organisation is Dacorum Borough Council, based in Hemel Hempstead. This is a specialist public-sector waste and depot-operations requirement rather than a general software or construction contract. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include weighbridge equipment and software providers, systems integrators, and service companies able to support digital waste tracking in an operational waste environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. Weightron Bilanciai Limited was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 23 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £43,833.60 excluding VAT, or £52,600.32 including VAT. There was one completed lot covering the full requirement. The award is for services and relates to weighbridge services. The process used a direct procurement route rather than an open tender, so suppliers were not compared through a competitive evaluation for this contract. The contract remains active following the award.

This procurement identifies an established demand from Dacorum Borough Council for integrated weighbridge and software capability supporting waste operations. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply or upgrade weighbridge equipment, configure or integrate the supporting software, and enable reliable digital waste tracking. The ability to protect business continuity while work takes place at an operational depot would be commercially important. Relevant suppliers are likely to be specialist weighbridge manufacturers, software providers with waste-sector functionality, and integrators able to combine hardware, software and implementation support. Experience delivering dependable systems in waste or depot environments would help demonstrate that the supplier can support the council’s operational needs.
