A Procurement Route for Waste and Environmental Services Technology

EPHF21-004 is designed to support councils and public sector organisations procuring operational technology and consultancy services for frontline environmental and waste services.

This includes technologies supporting:

  • Fleet and vehicle operations
  • Service delivery visibility
  • Route management
  • Operational workflows
  • Mobile working
  • Waste collection services

Collective by Bartec helps councils manage environmental services, operational workflows and frontline service delivery through a connected operational platform.

Supporting Local Authority Procurement

Framework agreements such as EPHF21-004 help simplify procurement by providing access to pre-approved suppliers that have already been assessed for areas such as:

  • Technical capability
  • Financial standing
  • Compliance requirements

Depending on their requirements, councils can typically procure through:

  • Direct award
  • Mini-competition

This can help reduce procurement timescales while maintaining compliance with public sector procurement requirements.

Proven Local Government Delivery

Bartec has successfully delivered projects procured through the Essex Procurement Hub framework, including Birmingham City Council’s deployment of Collective.

This provides councils with confidence that the framework can support large-scale operational and environmental services projects.

Why Councils Use Procurement Frameworks

Using public sector procurement frameworks can help councils:

  • Access specialist suppliers
  • Simplify procurement processes
  • Reduce procurement overhead
  • Procure operational technology more efficiently
  • Support compliant purchasing

Frameworks can also provide greater flexibility for councils looking to procure software, implementation services and ongoing operational support through a single procurement route.
