Summary of the contracting process

West Dunbartonshire Council procured a geographic information system (GIS) service, specifically Esri ArcGIS Enterprise, for use in its public services. The requirement covers the provision of an enterprise-level platform for managing, analysing and presenting geographic data and supporting council operations that rely on mapping and location information. The work is delivered for West Dunbartonshire Council in the Dumbarton area. The procurement is classified under CPV 72222300, covering information technology services related to information technology. Esri UK Limited is the selected supplier and is based in Aylesbury. The requirement formed one complete lot and was commissioned as a service rather than a goods supply or construction project.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. West Dunbartonshire Council used a limited procedure and made a direct award without prior publication of a competition, calling off the Crown Commercial Service Vertical Application Solutions framework RM6259. Esri UK Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 20 February 2026 and has an active status. Its value is £94,554. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically, and none came from an SME. The evaluation outcome therefore reflects a framework call-off and direct-award route rather than a multi-bid open competition. The available outcome records identify Esri UK Limited as the awarded supplier.

For suppliers assessing future demand from West Dunbartonshire Council, this award demonstrates a requirement for an enterprise GIS platform rather than a standalone mapping product. Relevant businesses would need credible capability in implementing, supplying or supporting Esri ArcGIS Enterprise and in integrating geographic information into council services. Experience with public-sector GIS environments, enterprise software deployment, data management, mapping, spatial analysis and ongoing technical support would be directly relevant. Familiarity with Crown Commercial Service framework routes, particularly Vertical Application Solutions, would also matter because this requirement was fulfilled through a direct framework call-off. Suppliers would need sufficient organisational capacity to support a council-wide system and demonstrate a track record delivering comparable enterprise GIS services.
