## Summary

Perth & Kinross Council has awarded a contract for the supply and installation of an in-cab technology system for Refuse Collection Vehicles. Located at 2 High Street, Perth, UKM77, the Council executed this procurement through an open procedure under the Crown Commercial Services Vertical Application Solutions Lot 3. The process culminated in the active contract with Bartec Municipal Technologies, which was signed on 2nd March 2026. The procurement covers services classified under CPV 90500000, with the region served being UKM77. The procurement was part of a framework agreement and related to environmental protection and general public services. This tender has concluded with the award stage, valued at £145,120 GBP, to ensure service continuity by working with the incumbent supplier.

This tender presents substantial prospects for businesses specialising in environmental services and technology integration, particularly for large-scale municipal operations. Companies that develop IT hardware and software solutions for vehicle fleets might find significant business opportunities within this sector. The optional Route Optimisation service, estimated at £38,550 GBP, further provides potential for future procurement, enhancing efficiency in refuse collection logistics. Businesses with expertise in system integration, data capture improvement, and training are well-positioned to collaborate with local authorities for similar ventures. The awarded contract exemplifies long-term implementation plans that involve integrating new technologies with existing systems, demonstrating growth potential for businesses that provide complementary services.

## Notice

A direct award process has been carried out under the Crown Commercial Services Vertical Application Solutions Lot 3: Housing, Environmental and Planning Solutions. Hardware and software installation can be very expensive, especially for large fleets. The ongoing cost of maintenance, updates, and training further add to the financial burden. Integrating new software with existing back-office systems, training all crew members, and replacing hardware can take up to two years to fully implement. So, a direct Award to the incumbent supplier was the best option for the continuity of the service.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

In-cab technology refers to the use of IT hardware and software within the Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs), which supports the communication of information between the vehicle and remote locations (e.g.depots, Customer Service Centre). The system provides opportunities to enable improved flows of information, better recording, and increased data capture. It helps to improve the flow of information and communication between the collection crews and back office.

Options: Route Optimisation service is optional and may be procured by the Council at a future date, if required. The Buyer will notify the Supplier if this option is needed. The estimated cost for Route Optimisation service is 38,550 GBP.
