This contract, led by Halton Borough Council, involves the acquisition of a versatile web-based data management system known as the 'Road Asset Management System' (RAMS). The RAMS project encompasses two primary tasks: data collection via physical surveys, and online deterioration and investment modelling using the SaaS principle. The contract, with a value of £200,000, was signed on 25th June 2025. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure through a direct award on the Blackpool Council RAMS Framework, and the related procurement activities have been completed with the involvement of Gaist Solutions Limited as the awarded supplier. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in software development, particularly those specialising in data management and asset lifecycle modelling. Firms experienced in providing cloud services and sophisticated data analysis could find this project an excellent platform for demonstrating their capabilities. As regional and local authorities, such as Halton Borough Council, continue to invest in advanced technology solutions to improve infrastructure management, businesses aligned with these technological advancements can anticipate increased opportunities to collaborate and grow within the public sector landscape. ## Notice Versatile web based data management system that is capable of handling asset information, not limited to highways asset information.
