Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council, acting on behalf of Chichester District Council, procured renewal of Chichester’s corporate geographic information system (GIS): a cloud-hosted enterprise GIS platform with associated software support. The system supports business-critical services, and the requirement was for continued provision of the existing platform. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom; the procurement identifies the South East as the delivery region.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Astun Technology Limited. The award date was 22 October 2026, and the awarded value is £81,358.36. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an option to extend by one year. The stated requirement describes a four-year term, from 1 November 2026, while the award records a three-year initial period plus the extension option. The council used a selective call-off from the Government Commercial Agency’s G-Cloud 14 framework, following a longlist and shortlist exercise. The shortlisted suppliers were known to the client team and considered capable of meeting the requirements; further evaluation criteria are not stated.

This award confirms demand from Chichester District Council for ongoing, cloud-hosted enterprise GIS and software support to sustain business-critical services. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need to provide and support a corporate-scale GIS platform, maintain continuity for an established council system, and demonstrate that its service can meet the council’s operational requirements. The buyer used a G-Cloud framework call-off and shortlisted suppliers it already knew and considered capable, so framework access and a strong, demonstrable record of relevant delivery would matter. The requirement was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the successful supplier, Astun Technology Limited, is an SME. The award therefore shows that a specialist SME can deliver this type of council GIS service.
