Summary of the contracting process

Fenland District Council procured geographic information system (GIS) digital mapping support, classified as GIS services (CPV 38221000). The requirement is for support relating to digital mapping; no further breakdown of tasks or outputs is described. The council is based in March, and the listed delivery postcode, PE15 8NQ, is in the Fenland area. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of mapping equipment or construction work. The award identifies ESRI (UK) Limited as the supplier, showing that the council uses specialist GIS provision for its mapping needs.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ESRI (UK) Limited on 10 November 2025 for £87,733. The award covers a three-year contract period from 9 November 2025 to 9 November 2028, with an optional 12-month extension. The tender deadline was 9 November 2025. The council used a selective call-off from the Vertical Application Systems framework. The procurement is presented as a single requirement, with no lots described. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The published information does not set out an evaluation weighting or specific award criteria, so the basis on which the supplier was selected cannot be summarised further.

This award demonstrates demand from Fenland District Council for specialist GIS digital mapping support delivered through the Vertical Application Systems framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable capability in GIS platforms and digital mapping, and the capacity to provide ongoing support to a district council. The successful supplier, ESRI (UK) Limited, is itself identified as an SME, indicating that this type of specialist service can be supplied by a smaller business. Businesses should assess whether they can meet the framework route used by the council and sustain service delivery across a multi-year engagement, including any extension if exercised. The requirement is focused on GIS and mapping support, rather than general IT services.
