Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council procured waste management software licences and in-cab technology for its waste services. The requirement covers software and information systems used to support waste management operations, including technology installed or used in collection vehicles. It is a goods procurement, with delivery associated with the council’s operations in North Yorkshire. The contract was awarded to Whitespace Work Software Limited, a Surrey-based software supplier. The requirement is relevant to businesses providing waste-management platforms, operational fleet technology, in-cab hardware or software, and related systems integration. Suppliers specialising only in general-purpose software without waste-sector or vehicle-based operational applications are less closely aligned with the stated requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award under the G-Cloud 14 framework, using a limited procedure without a prior call for competition. The stated evaluation criterion was price. Whitespace Work Software Limited was the selected supplier, with one bid recorded. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and is active. Its contract value is £439,440. The corrected contract terms provide for an initial three-year period, with an additional optional 12-month extension; the earlier description of a 12-month term was amended. The procurement rationale states that the award was made compliantly through the GCA’s G-Cloud 14 framework direct-award procedure. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award demonstrates established demand from North Yorkshire Council for a combined waste-management software and in-cab technology solution, rather than a standalone back-office application. Competitors seeking similar work should be able to provide software that supports waste-service operations alongside reliable vehicle-based technology, with the capability to integrate these elements into a usable operational system. Credibility would also come from experience delivering technology for waste collection or comparable field-service fleets, supporting users across day-to-day operations, and supplying a solution through an appropriate public-sector framework route. The price-led evaluation indicates that commercially competitive pricing is important, while the scale and multi-year commitment point to a supplier able to support sustained service delivery rather than a short implementation alone.
