Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea bought geographic information system (GIS) products and services, including digital mapping systems. The requirement supports the borough’s housing, environmental and planning functions. The work is for the council and relates to the United Kingdom; the procurement also records delivery coverage across several other territories and international locations. This is a service contract awarded to ESRI UK Limited. The framework lot used for the purchase covers housing, environmental and planning applications, indicating the operational areas the GIS products and services are intended to support.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ESRI UK Limited by direct award through the Government Commercial Agency’s Vertical and Application Solutions Framework, under its housing, environmental and planning lot. The award was made on 14 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £209,341. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, a 36-month term. The tender deadline was 27 August 2026. The published procurement information does not describe evaluation criteria, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be summarised beyond the stated direct-award route.

This award confirms demand from Kensington and Chelsea for GIS products and services supporting housing, environmental and planning work. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide digital mapping and GIS capability suited to these public-sector applications, together with the products and services needed to support their use. The procurement was placed through a government framework’s relevant application lot and awarded directly, so suppliers seeking comparable work should consider whether they can qualify for and supply through an appropriate framework route. The contract was awarded to a large supplier, and the council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; businesses should therefore assess whether they have the capacity and organisational scale to deliver a similar requirement.
