UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid Suffolk District Council procured waste collection management software for use in the United Kingdom. The requirement is classified as software packages and information systems, covering a digital system to support the council’s management of waste collection activity. The council is the buying organisation and the service is delivered for its operations in the United Kingdom. The procurement concerns one complete requirement rather than a range of separately described work packages. It is therefore relevant to software providers with products designed for local-authority waste collection management, operational planning, service administration or related information handling. Businesses focused solely on physical waste collection, vehicles, processing facilities or general-purpose software without a waste-management application are less closely aligned with the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold purchase. Mid Suffolk District Council awarded the contract to WHITESPACE WORK SOFTWARE LIMITED on 13 January 2026. The contract runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2029, with a maximum extent to 30 April 2030 and a stated further 12-month renewal option. Its value is £95,401 excluding VAT and £114,481 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covered the single requirement for waste collection management software, with no separate competitive lots described. The chosen route means the council selected a supplier without inviting competing tenders, so the award reflects a completed direct procurement rather than an open market competition.

This award is evidence of a local authority requirement for specialist software to manage waste collection services. A credible future competitor would need a proven product that directly supports waste-collection management rather than only generic document, finance or customer-management functions. Relevant strengths would include reliable information systems, practical workflows for council waste operations, implementation capability and the capacity to support an active public-sector service over a multi-year arrangement. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller software business. Suppliers studying comparable work should therefore focus on a clear waste-management application, dependable support and evidence that the product can operate in a council environment.
