Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council bought software services for a recycling centre booking system and a weighbridge ticket data system. The requirement supports the council’s management of bookings at recycling centres and the collection and handling of weighbridge ticket data. It was procured as one service requirement and delivered for activity in Suffolk. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council, a sub-central public authority based in Ipswich. The service falls within software supply services and combines a customer-facing booking function with data capture and management associated with weighbridge tickets. The requirement is relevant to suppliers that develop, supply or support booking platforms, recycling and waste management systems, weighbridge data solutions, or software integrations for local authority operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. PENTAGULL LTD was selected as the supplier for the single service requirement. The contract was signed on 19 September 2026, starts on 20 September 2026 and runs to 19 September 2028, with an optional extension of up to 24 months and a maximum end date of 19 September 2030. The awarded contract value is £46,487 gross, in pounds sterling, including the optional extension period. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the council’s direct-award route rather than an open competitive tender. The contract is below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates a defined local-authority need for integrated digital services covering recycling centre bookings and weighbridge ticket data. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would combine reliable booking software with structured data capture, storage, reporting and system support for waste and recycling operations. Credible competitors should be able to show experience delivering software to public-sector or operational environments, handling data accurately across related processes, and supporting users who rely on the system for routine service access and site management. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national systems integrator. Firms with recycling, waste management, weighbridge, booking-platform or local-government technology experience should monitor this buyer’s related digital requirements.
