Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council procured a software-as-a-service solution called Waste Wizard Software. The requirement falls within software-related services and is intended for waste-related operations, although the published scope does not describe the specific functions, users or technical outputs. The council is the buying organisation, based in Gloucester, and the service is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a technology services opportunity rather than a supply of physical equipment or construction work. It is relevant to software providers that can deliver and support a hosted service for a local authority, particularly those whose products address waste management or related public-sector operational needs. The selected supplier was Recollect Ltd, based in Chester.

The procurement is complete and was run as a selective restricted procedure. The estimated value was £18,000, with one lot for software as a service and a contract duration of 1,440 days. Bids were submitted in writing in English; variants were not allowed and a document participation fee applied. The award is active and was made to Recollect Ltd. The contract is also active, with a value of £18,388. It was signed on 1 May 2026. One bid was recorded for the lot. The lot itself is marked cancelled in the procurement data, but the associated award and contract are recorded as active. The evaluation criterion for the lot was price.

This procurement provides a clear demand signal for suppliers of hosted waste-management software serving local authorities. A credible future competitor would need a functioning software-as-a-service product suited to waste-related public services, together with the ability to provide it for a long-term council contract. Suppliers should be able to explain their service clearly in written English, operate through a restricted procurement route and compete primarily on price when that is the stated evaluation basis. The requirement also indicates that a provider may need sufficient organisational capacity to support a single-council deployment over several years. Relevant businesses include specialist waste-software firms, established public-sector SaaS providers and technology companies able to deliver a focused waste-management platform.
