UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Oxfordshire District Council is seeking a digital mapping service to create an interactive map for Witney. The service should support curated exploration, storytelling and a stronger sense of place, rather than replicate general navigation tools such as Google Maps. It will help visitors and residents understand routes, destinations and amenities, while promoting increased footfall and longer stays in the town centre. Content should reflect Witney’s markets, heritage, green spaces and riverside setting, with links to external navigation where appropriate. The work is classified as digital mapping services and is to be delivered in Witney, West Oxfordshire. This is a public-sector services opportunity led by the district council.

The council has reached the tender stage and invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted electronically, with the tender closing at 17:00 on 21 September 2026. There is one lot. The contract is scheduled to run from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2031. The published gross tender value is £30,000, while the lot value is recorded as AED 30,000. Offers will be evaluated on price at 20% and quality at 80%, making the quality of the proposed solution and delivery approach substantially more important than cost alone. The opportunity is being procured under the Procurement Act 2023.

This opportunity suits digital agencies, mapping specialists and user-experience teams able to design and deliver an interactive place-based map. Strong candidates will be able to combine digital mapping with editorial storytelling, clear information design and intuitive navigation for visitors and residents. Experience presenting routes, destinations, amenities and local attractions in an accessible, engaging way would be directly relevant. The requirement also calls for a solution that complements external navigation services, links users to them where needed and communicates Witney’s distinctive identity through its markets, heritage, green spaces and riverside setting. Suppliers should be comfortable delivering a council-facing project whose success depends on usability, local relevance, content curation and a polished digital experience.
