Summary of the contracting process

Epping Forest District Council procured a software-based platform and support service for its geographic information system (GIS) mapping system. The requirement covers system and support services, including software support, to provide the council with a platform for mapping-related activities and ongoing technical assistance. The work is for the council and is delivered in Epping, England. This is a services procurement rather than a purchase of physical equipment or construction work. The requirement is relevant to software providers, GIS specialists, mapping-system suppliers and organisations able to support public-sector geographic information services. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not identified as a target supplier group.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Epping Forest District Council used a selective call-off from the RM6259 framework agreement, Lot 3, under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The tender closed on 11 April 2023 at 12 noon, and the contract was awarded on 26 June 2023 to Esri (UK) Limited. The awarded value is £97,434 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2026. The award was active at the recorded stage. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route, with the selected supplier providing the GIS mapping platform and associated support services.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand from Epping Forest District Council for a supported GIS mapping platform rather than a one-off software licence. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable geographic information software, implementation or platform support, and ongoing technical assistance suitable for a local authority environment. Relevant capability includes maintaining mapping systems, supporting council users, managing software updates and resolving operational issues. Experience delivering public-sector or local-government GIS services would help demonstrate understanding of governance, service continuity and user needs. The requirement also shows that suppliers able to access and compete through an appropriate framework route can reach this buyer, including smaller businesses with the technical capacity to deliver the service.
