Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council procured information technology services comprising FME Form and FME Flow software licences. The requirement was for a three-year subscription adding FME Flow, a server-based solution, to the council’s existing FME Form desktop licences. The software supports the automation and scheduling of spatial data extract, transform and load (ETL) tasks, and enables those processes to be made available to other services through an internal web platform. The work is for the council’s team and is delivered in the North East of England. This is a software licensing and geospatial data workflow requirement rather than a general consultancy or standalone infrastructure project. The main procurement category is services, classified under CPV 72222300, information technology services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Durham County Council used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 5 June 2026 at 11:00. The contract was awarded to Dotted Eyes Limited trading as Miso on 20 August 2026, at a value of £25,600 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 30 June 2026 to 29 June 2029. The award is active and covers the full requirement for the FME Form and FME Flow subscription. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Durham County Council, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for enterprise geospatial software licensing and spatial data workflow capability. A credible competitor would need to supply or support FME Form and FME Flow, understand the relationship between desktop authoring and server-based automation, and help users schedule and manage extract, transform and load processes. Experience connecting these workflows to internal web services would be relevant, particularly where processes need to be reused by other council services. Suppliers should be comfortable delivering subscription-based software arrangements to a public-sector team, supporting an existing FME environment rather than replacing it, and operating at a scale suited to an SME as well as larger specialist technology providers.
