Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council procured an enterprise geographic information system (GIS) platform for use across its services in Glenrothes and Fife, Scotland. The requirement covers software licences, support and maintenance, alongside a platform for capturing, managing, analysing and sharing spatial data. The system supports council functions including planning, transportation, asset management, environmental services and emergency planning, as well as public-facing mapping applications. This is a council-wide technology requirement rather than a standalone mapping tool: the platform is intended to underpin critical services and make spatial information usable across different teams and public applications. The procurement was categorised as goods, with the service and support elements included in the platform provision.

The procurement is complete and a contract is active. Fife Council selected ESRI (UK) for the single lot through a limited procedure, using a direct call-off from the CCS framework without a separately published competition. One bid was recorded for the lot. The contract value is £255,000. It was signed on 17 September 2026. The award was made to ESRI (UK); the published information does not give a separate award date or contract duration. The stated basis for the direct call-off was the CCS framework, and the procurement description identifies the requirement as provision of the enterprise GIS platform, licences, support and maintenance.

For suppliers seeking comparable future work with Fife Council, this award shows demand for an enterprise GIS platform that can support spatial-data capture, management, analysis and sharing across multiple council services. A credible competitor would need to offer software licensing together with ongoing support and maintenance, and show that its platform can underpin planning, transportation, asset management, environmental services and emergency planning as well as public-facing mapping. The requirement is council-wide and supports critical services, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate a platform suited to use across different functions, not only a single team or mapping application. The route used here was a direct call-off from the CCS framework, making framework access relevant to competing through the same route.
