Summary of the contracting process

West Berkshire Council procured an industry-specific software system for highways and environmental asset management. The requirement focused on a fully integrated, end-to-end highways asset management solution delivered through a mobile platform for internal council use, with functionality supporting engagement with contractors and customers. The buyer is West Berkshire Council, a local authority based in Newbury. The work relates to the council’s highways asset management activities. The selected supplier, W.D.M Limited, is based in Staple Hill, Bristol, and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement was treated as a goods procurement, although the commercial delivery involves software capability, implementation and ongoing use of an integrated operational platform.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. West Berkshire Council used a limited procedure without publishing a prior call for competition, making a compliant call-off from the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement. The award was made to W.D.M Limited and the contract is active. The contract value is £413,520. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026. Two bids were recorded. Price was the stated award criterion. The procurement involved a framework agreement and included an option to extend the term by a further 12 months, allowing a maximum total term of 48 months. The requirement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a local authority for a specialist highways asset management platform rather than a general-purpose software product. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar work with West Berkshire Council would need to provide a fully integrated, end-to-end system with mobile functionality, suitable for internal operational teams and able to support engagement with contractors and customers. Credibility would therefore depend on demonstrable experience delivering highways asset management software, integrating workflows and data across the service, and supporting mobile users in operational settings. The requirement was awarded through the G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement, so suppliers targeting comparable opportunities should understand the relevant framework route and call-off process. W.D.M Limited’s award also shows that an SME can deliver this type of specialist requirement.
