## Summary

Lancaster City Council bought an in-cab management system for its waste collection vehicles, including refuse collection vehicles. The service covers route management, collection servicing and planning software for vehicles, together with back-office management. This is software and related services supporting the operational planning and delivery of the council’s waste collections. The relevant work is for suppliers providing fleet or waste-collection management systems that connect vehicle-based tools with council back-office functions. Delivery is for Lancaster City Council in Lancaster.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Lancaster City Council awarded it to Whitespace following below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2029. Its value is £100,110.75 excluding VAT, or £120,132.90 including VAT. The procurement had one lot, covering the in-cab waste collection management system. No award evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details.

This award shows demand from Lancaster City Council for an integrated operational system for waste collection: in-cab route management and collection servicing, planning software for council vehicles and refuse collection vehicles, and back-office management. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate that its software supports both field operations and the council’s planning and management functions, with an effective fit for waste collection vehicles and workflows. The council used limited competition for this below-threshold purchase, so suppliers should be equipped to engage in a restricted competitive process rather than assume an open tender. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller specialist provider was able to deliver this requirement; the award does not establish specific technical standards or accreditations.
