PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Renfrewshire Council procured the renewal of its corporate geographical information system (GIS) licence, covering ESRI products and services used by the council. The requirement is for software and associated services supporting the council’s organisation-wide GIS capability, rather than a construction or standalone mapping project. Delivery is for East Renfrewshire, with the council based at Eastwood HQ in Giffnock. The procurement is classified as computer-related geographical information systems software, CPV 38221000. The buyer is East Renfrewshire Council, a local authority responsible for general public services. The requirement was arranged as a single lot covering the GIS licence renewal and the related products and services supplied under the selected framework route.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. East Renfrewshire Council used a limited procedure: a direct award without a prior competition, made through the Crown Commercial Service Vertical Application Solutions framework RM6259. Esri UK Limited was selected as supplier for the single lot. The contract value is £143,194, inclusive of the stated currency, and the contract was signed on 1 September 2026. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically; it was not from an SME. The procurement was evaluated through the framework’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract record identifies the requirement as complete, while the resulting contract is active. No renewal options are recorded for the lot.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for an organisation-wide GIS licence and related ESRI products and services in East Renfrewshire. A credible future competitor would need to supply, renew or support enterprise GIS software for a local authority, with sufficient capability to maintain an existing corporate platform rather than deliver a one-off mapping exercise. Experience working with council users, public-sector information requirements, licence management, software support and continuity of service would be relevant. Suppliers would also need to understand how to work through the Vertical Application Solutions framework or an equivalent public-sector purchasing route, since this requirement was fulfilled by direct award under that framework. The single recorded bid and selection of a large specialist supplier indicate a requirement suited to established GIS technology providers with the capacity to support a council-wide deployment.
