Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Epping Forest District Council procured a software-focused solution for its geographic information system (GIS) mapping service. The requirement covers a mapping platform and associated software support services, including the systems and support needed to operate and maintain the council’s GIS capability. This is a services contract rather than a purchase of physical goods or construction works. Delivery is for the council in Epping, Essex, supporting the council’s mapping and location-based information needs across its district. The opportunity is relevant to GIS software providers, mapping-platform specialists, systems integrators and organisations that provide technical support for public-sector geographic information systems. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier is a large organisation.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically GCA RM6259 Lot 3, established under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract was awarded to Esri (UK) Limited on 1 July 2026 for £109,697 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender submission deadline was 11 May 2026 at 12:00. The council is Epping Forest District Council, and the tender was classified as system and support services, with software support services as an additional classification. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates established demand from Epping Forest District Council for a supported GIS mapping platform rather than standalone software. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work should be able to provide a dependable geographic information system, implement or configure it for council use, and deliver continuing technical support throughout a multi-year service arrangement. Credibility would come from proven experience supporting public-sector mapping environments, maintaining platform availability, resolving operational issues and helping users make effective use of location-based data. Businesses with framework access and experience of framework call-offs would be particularly well placed to follow this route. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs, so a specialist GIS or support business may be competitive where it can evidence the required platform capability, service capacity and relevant delivery record.
