Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government, including the Scottish Ministers, Transport Scotland and Food Standards Scotland, has acquired access to an enterprise licence agreement with ESRI. This is a software licensing and licence-management service for geographic information systems (GIS), under the Crown Commercial Services Vertical Application Solutions arrangement. The requirement is for organisation-wide access to ESRI’s GIS technology rather than a standalone software package or a physical installation. The named buying organisation is the Scottish Government, with the requirement serving Scottish Ministers, Transport Scotland and Food Standards Scotland. The procurement is associated with public-sector operations in Scotland, while the available information does not identify a separate delivery site. Suppliers in enterprise GIS software, public-sector licensing and account-wide technology agreements are the closest fit.

The procurement has been awarded. ESRI (UK) was selected as supplier, with an awarded value of £1,125,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The related contract is recorded as active. The award was made through Crown Commercial Services’ Vertical Application Solutions arrangement, RM6259, Lot 3, rather than as an unstructured standalone purchase. One bid is recorded for the procurement. The award covers access to the enterprise licence agreement for the Scottish Ministers, Transport Scotland and Food Standards Scotland. The available outcome records the supplier and value but does not set out a contract period, award date, submission deadline or detailed scoring basis. This is therefore a completed supplier-selection event, not an opportunity to submit a bid.

This award demonstrates demand for enterprise-scale GIS access across several Scottish public bodies, with a substantial organisation-wide licensing requirement rather than a small departmental deployment. Competitors seeking similar work would need a strong enterprise GIS platform, the ability to provide and manage licences across multiple public-sector users, and the operational capacity to support several organisations under one agreement. Experience of government or other complex multi-entity customers would help establish credibility, particularly where access, account management, software entitlement and ongoing service support must be coordinated centrally. Suppliers should also understand public-sector procurement routes and framework-based technology purchasing, including how to present a compliant offer for a defined lot and demonstrate that their licensing model can serve a broad institutional user base.
