## Summary

The Vale of Glamorgan Council has completed the procurement process for an asset management platform, awarding a contract to Brightly Software. This platform is intended to support an integrated approach to managing the council's highways, waste management, parks, and grounds assets. Located in Barry, UKL22 region, the council finalised the contract on January 29, 2025, following a limited procurement method under Regulation 32 (2) (b) (ii) due to the absence of competition for technical reasons. The contract has a value of £226,656 GBP and involves a cloud-based solution to enhance operational efficiency and service delivery across various council departments and external stakeholders.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses that offer complementary software, maintenance, and support services in the public sector, particularly those experienced in asset management and mobile working solutions. Large-scale enterprises with the capability to integrate complex IT systems and provide ongoing support would be well-suited to compete in future tenders. The necessity for continuous improvement and integration within the Vale of Glamorgan Council's operations indicates a strong potential for collaborative ventures and long-term partnerships, making this a significant opportunity for companies aiming to expand their market presence within local government frameworks.
