Net Zero Opportunities Walsall Council has launched the Net Zero 2041 Strategy in 2025, aimed at cutting emissions and creating economic opportunities. This signals demand for energy efficiency retrofits, renewable energy projects, EV charging infrastructure, smart city technologies, and sustainability program management.

Regeneration Projects The Connected Gateway scheme in Walsall Town Centre and the 2024 Compulsory Purchase Order indicate a strong focus on urban regeneration and property redevelopment. Opportunities exist in construction project management, retrofit and demolition services, planning support, redevelopment consulting, and tools to manage social value and progress reporting.

Digital Modernisation The current technology stack – ASP.NET, Microsoft IIS, GitHub, OneDrive, with security practices like HSTS – suggests ongoing digital modernization and potential cloud adoption. Sales opportunities include web and app modernization, secure hosting, cybersecurity, data governance, disaster recovery, and developer tooling or managed services.

Public Safety Solutions Enforcement actions against illegal waste and ongoing community protection work highlight a need for compliance and public safety solutions. Consider waste management technology, enforcement case management systems, fleet telematics, digital waste permits, and training for environmental enforcement teams.

Economic Development Partnerships With 1001-5000 employees and annual revenue between 25 and 50 million, the council is a sizable public sector buyer focused on local economic growth and resilient communities. Opportunities include supplier onboarding and procurement modernization, SME digital upskilling programs, event management platforms for leisure facilities, and consulting around public procurement processes and value for money.
