Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia procured a Digimap Premium Bundle site licence: a web-based mapping and geospatial data service for higher and further education institutions. The requirement covers access to geographic information systems, software and information systems, digital mapping services, and the supply of data. The service is for delivery in Norwich, at the University of East Anglia’s Norwich Research Park location. This is a goods procurement centred on licensed access to mapping and geospatial information rather than physical construction or equipment supply. Businesses relevant to this requirement include providers of institutional mapping platforms, geospatial datasets, GIS software, digital cartography and associated data services for education-sector users.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The University of Edinburgh was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026, has a gross value of £31,406.40 including taxes, and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement comprised one lot, which is complete, and the award is active. The buying organisation is the University of East Anglia. The recorded award relates to geographic information systems, software and information systems, digital mapping services and data supply. The process was conducted under the legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023.

This procurement demonstrates a defined institutional need for a bundled, web-based mapping and geospatial data service within higher and further education. A credible competing supplier would need to provide reliable GIS functionality, digital mapping capability, and access to relevant geospatial datasets through a site-licence or similarly scalable institutional service. Experience supporting universities or comparable education organisations would help demonstrate understanding of multi-user access, academic and administrative use, service continuity and data usability. Relevant businesses include established mapping-platform providers, specialist geospatial data suppliers, GIS software companies and organisations able to combine these elements into one managed service. The selected supplier’s profile indicates that a large university-based technical organisation can deliver this type of requirement.
