Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is procuring Esri ArcGIS training for staff on its NCEA programme. This is professional training in geographic information systems (GIS), focused on using environmental data more effectively. It is intended to develop staff capability in visualising, managing, integrating and analysing spatial datasets, including both NCEA-funded data and wider environmental datasets. The training supports more efficient and consistent geospatial analysis across the programme, stronger evidence-based decisions and broader use of environmental data across the Defra Group. The work is training services for programme staff; the stated purpose is to improve their practical use of ArcGIS and environmental information.

The procurement is complete and the award is recorded as pending. Defra used a below-threshold direct award without competition. One supplier was selected, but its name is not stated. The award value is £12,920 excluding VAT (£15,504 including VAT). The contract period runs from 9 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award was published on 5 October 2026. The requirement was arranged as a single lot, with small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises marked as suitable. The stated evaluation basis is not available in the contracting details.

For a supplier considering comparable future work with Defra, the relevant capability is practical delivery of Esri ArcGIS training that enables public-sector programme staff to work confidently with environmental spatial data. Credible provision would need to cover visualisation, management, integration and analysis of datasets, and connect the training to the effective use of both programme-funded and wider environmental information. The buyer’s stated aims point to trainers able to improve consistency and efficiency of geospatial analysis and support evidence-based decisions across a departmental programme. This was a modest, single-lot training requirement, and the procurement route was a direct award without competition; the awarded supplier’s identity and specific selection rationale are not stated, so the outcome does not establish particular credentials or a competitive evaluation standard.
