UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured additional ESRI ArcGIS licences for the Lower Thames Crossing programme. The geographic information system is the programme’s primary geospatial solution, used by internal staff, including Land & Property teams, and delivery partners. It supports land acquisition and construction activities. The purchase is software licensing rather than a wider mapping, construction or land services contract. Its users need access to the established ArcGIS platform as part of the programme’s geospatial work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ESRI (UK) Ltd. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 7 October 2026 and runs from 19 October 2026 to 25 April 2027. Its value is £17,422.54 excluding VAT, or £20,907.49 including VAT. The procurement was for one lot of additional ArcGIS licences. No separate evaluation criteria are stated; the recorded outcome is an active contract with ESRI (UK) Ltd.

This purchase indicates a focused requirement for additional licences that extend National Highways’ existing ArcGIS environment for the Lower Thames Crossing. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to provide compatible geospatial software licensing and support use by both internal teams and delivery partners involved in land acquisition and construction. The buyer selected the incumbent software provider through a direct award without competition, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate fit with the programme’s established GIS platform and the operational needs it serves. The scale is a discrete, below-threshold software purchase, rather than a large systems implementation or a broad geospatial services engagement. The commercial relevance is greatest for GIS software vendors and authorised licensing partners able to serve major infrastructure programmes.
