What the notice says

Birmingham City Council is undertaking a Preliminary Market Engagement to understand the range of software solutions available in the market to support its Trade Waste service operations. The Trade Waste service manages commercial waste collections for businesses across the city. The existing platform supports operational processes including customer account management, round and route management, contract management, operational worksheets, driver tablet integration, reporting, and integration with Oracle (Brindley) for invoicing. This Preliminary Market Engagement is being conducted to gather information from suppliers regarding available solutions, capabilities, indicative delivery approaches, and commercial models that could support the future delivery of Trade Waste services. If you are interested in participating in this PME, please register online against the project via the Council’s In-tend e-tendering portal https://in-tendhost.co.uk/birminghamcc.

Once registered on the portal interested parties must complete Section 7 Supplier Preliminary Market Test Questionnaire and submit via the e-portal by 12 midday on the 5th August 2026.
