Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council commissioned specialist route optimisation services to redesign street-sweeping and gully-cleansing routes for large mechanical sweepers and gully vehicles. The work covers modelling existing operations, testing tactical scenarios, optimising schedules and supporting implementation. It is a professional services requirement focused on operational routing for the council’s street-scene services, rather than the supply of vehicles or routine cleaning itself. The work is delivered in South Gloucestershire, England.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. South Gloucestershire Council awarded the single lot directly to Routeware Limited, without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The stated basis for evaluation is not provided. The award date and contract signature date were 28 September 2026. The contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2029. Its value is £94,764 excluding VAT (£113,716 including VAT). The requirement covered redesigning routes for mechanical street sweepers and gully-cleansing vehicles, including operational modelling, scenario testing, schedule optimisation and implementation support.

Routeware Limited, an SME, was selected for this specialist routing requirement. For comparable future work with South Gloucestershire Council, a credible supplier would need to demonstrate expertise in route optimisation for large mechanical sweepers and gully vehicles, as well as the ability to model existing operations, test tactical scenarios, produce optimised schedules and support implementation. The work combines analytical planning with practical delivery support, so suppliers would need to translate operational data and constraints into routes that can be put into use. This award shows demand for specialist professional services applied to the council’s street-scene operations, rather than general software supply or routine cleansing services.
