Summary of the contracting process

Erewash Borough Council procured a waste management software system for its waste and fleet operations. The requirement is for industry-specific software supporting the council’s operational management of waste services and fleet activity. The buying organisation is Erewash Borough Council, based in Ilkeston, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement comprised a single lot. This is a software supply requirement rather than a works contract or a general professional services commission, so relevant businesses are software developers, implementation partners and suppliers of systems designed for waste, fleet or related operational environments. The awarded supplier is based in Godalming, although the service is for Erewash Borough Council’s operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and runs from 29 July 2026 to 28 July 2029, with a maximum possible extension to 28 July 2031. The contract value is £153,525 excluding VAT and £184,230 including VAT. There is an option to extend for two further 12-month periods, subject to funding, business need and satisfactory performance. WHITESPACE WORK SOFTWARE LIMITED was awarded the contract. The evaluation route was a non-competitive direct award, and the award covers the single lot for the waste management software system.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Erewash Borough Council for specialist software supporting waste and fleet operations. A credible future competitor would need to provide an industry-specific system rather than generic office software, with functionality suited to the operational management of waste services and vehicle fleets. Suppliers with established products, relevant implementation experience and the capacity to support a council-wide operational system would be well placed. The incumbent is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by an appropriately scaled specialist software business rather than only by a large systems integrator. Businesses should be able to evidence reliable service performance, operational understanding and support for a public-sector customer.
