Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council procured route optimisation software for use by its Road Maintenance Partnership and Waste Management Service. The purchase is a specialist software package intended to support route planning and optimisation for these services. Delivery is in Dundee. The procurement covered one requirement for the council; the software is to be used across the road maintenance partnership and waste management functions.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Bramble Hub Limited. Dundee City Council used a direct award through the Crown Commercial Service’s Vertical Application Services framework, a limited procedure without a call for competition. Price was the stated award criterion. The contract value is £252,172. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and is scheduled to run from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028, with options to extend for two further periods of 12 months. The lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active.

This award shows demand at Dundee City Council for specialist route optimisation software serving both road maintenance and waste management. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate software suited to route planning across these operational services, and the ability to support use by both the Road Maintenance Partnership and the council’s Waste Management Service. The buyer selected a supplier through a direct award from an established public-sector framework, with price as the stated award basis. A credible future competitor would therefore need a relevant framework route as well as a competitively priced product that meets the council’s operational needs. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist provider was capable of winning this software contract.
