Summary of the contracting process

Ofgem procured a geographic information system (GIS) development and application-creation service for administering the Bill Discount Scheme (BDS), which supports electricity infrastructure projects. The requirement is for a secure, auditable GIS solution that can identify buildings and their associated Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRNs) within a 500-metre eligibility zone around Limits of Deviation (LoD) supplied by Transmission Owners. This is a services contract, with delivery locations covering the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is Ofgem, based at 10 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 1 January 2026. Ofgem awarded the contract to Esri (UK) Limited on 2 July 2026 for £300,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 7 July 2026 to 6 July 2027. The awarded scope is the full GIS development and app-creation requirement rather than separate lots. The procurement’s stated maximum estimated value was also £300,000. The award is active, and the available outcome identifies Esri (UK) Limited as the selected supplier. The evaluation basis is not set out in the available procurement details.

This requirement demonstrates demand from Ofgem for specialist GIS development linked to regulated electricity infrastructure and public benefit schemes. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would combine strong GIS and application-development capability with experience of secure, auditable systems, spatial analysis and data integration. Relevant technical expertise includes identifying buildings and UPRNs within defined geographic zones, working with Limits of Deviation supplied by Transmission Owners, and producing dependable outputs for administrative decision-making. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so a specialist SME with the required technical capacity could be credible when Ofgem next tests a similar requirement. Experience delivering robust solutions for public bodies, infrastructure owners or energy-sector programmes would strengthen that position.
