Decision details

Provision of Logistics Software for Refuse Collection

Decision Maker: Section 151 Officer

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Single year contract for the provision of logistics software for refuse collection, including food waste, with 3-4 licences to allow for the required routing as part of the food waste service implementation

Decision:

To let a single year contract to RouteWare.

Reasons for the decision:

The software has been used on a single licence for many years following an initial county wide procurement.  This was cost effective.  Given the work this year the Council will need 3-4 licences, this increases the value of the order. With LGR the Council will keep to the single year and review options in 2027.

Alternative options considered:

Other existing suppliers have options, these have been compared in the past and will be again in 2027 based on the need at that point and LGR partner requirements.
