Summary of the contracting process

West Oxfordshire District Council is currently involved in a public procurement process for the provision of a Digital Interactive Map for the town of Witney. Classified under the services category, this tender seeks to create a curated digital directory of locations aimed at enhancing how individuals experience and explore Witney. The procurement process is at the tender stage, following an open competition approach under the below-threshold procurement method. Located in the UKJ14 region, businesses have until 3 August 2026 to submit their proposals. The contract is valued at £15,000, with a gross amount of £18,000. The contract period is expected to begin on 18 August 2026 and last until 18 November 2026, with a focus on both price (40%) and quality (60%). However, it's important to note that the initial tender was cancelled due to errors in the project details, and the council intends to re-advertise this opportunity once resolved.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in digital mapping services to collaborate with local government and organisations such as the Witney Town Council and the Witney Chamber of Commerce. Companies capable of providing comprehensive project management, governance, and content management solutions, along with training and ongoing support, stand to benefit. As this project aims to bolster the long-term promotion and development of the town centre, businesses focused on innovative marketing technology and have an understanding of geographic information systems (GIS) will find this tender particularly suited to their expertise, offering them potential growth and enhanced community engagement.

Request for Quotation for the Provision of a Digital Interactive Map for Witney

Notice Description

The interactive map is intended to be a curated directory of locations, used as a marketing and a place shaping tool that supports how people experience, navigate, and spend time in Witney town centre. The map exists to help people understand, explore, and engage with Witney more easily and confidently, whether they are visiting for the first time or using the town regularly. West Oxfordshire District Council (WODC) is procuring this solution on behalf of Witney Town Council and the Witney Chamber of Commerce.

Following implementation, ownership and day-to-day management of the solution are expected to sit with Witney Town Council and/or the Witney Chamber of Commerce, subject to final governance arrangements.
