Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Finance, through Land Property Services, procured a Northern Ireland-wide arrangement for public sector organisations needing geographic information systems and related IT services. The requirement covers ArcGIS Enterprise licensing agreements, other ArcGIS licences and subscriptions, managed services, professional services, training and additional services. It is intended for Northern Ireland departments, agencies, non-departmental public bodies, government companies and other listed contracting authorities, including bodies such as the Education Authority, Northern Ireland Water, Translink and the Housing Executive. The work is classified as IT services, including software and information systems, computer-related professional services and geographic information systems. Delivery is across Northern Ireland rather than at one named site, with participating organisations able to use the arrangement for their operational needs.

The procurement is complete and an active contract has been awarded to Esri Ireland Ltd following a selective competitive procedure with negotiation. One electronic bid was recorded, from an SME. The tender closed on 1 March 2024 at 3pm, and the contract was signed on 30 September 2024. The recorded contract period is 3,390 days, with two optional extensions of up to three years each. The initial estimated value was £35,000,000, while active contract records show values of £38,284,992 and £42,118,313; the latter reflects an amendment for expanded responsibilities and additional participating organisations. Evaluation weighted quality at 40% and cost at 60%. The procurement had one lot, and variants were permitted. The tender was assessed on technical and professional ability, economic and financial standing, and legal suitability.

This requirement indicates sustained public-sector demand for suppliers able to provide the full ArcGIS ecosystem rather than software alone. A credible competitor would need strong capability in ArcGIS Enterprise and subscription licensing, together with the capacity to deliver managed services, implementation or other professional services, user training and additional support across multiple public bodies. Technical and professional experience must be matched by sound economic, financial and legal standing. The scale and breadth of participating organisations favour suppliers able to manage a multi-customer arrangement, support onboarding and changing operational requirements, and maintain consistent service performance. Contract monitoring is significant: failure to meet requirements can lead to escalation, an unsatisfactory-performance notice and exclusion from relevant Northern Ireland procurement competitions for three years. Social and environmental clauses may also apply.
