## Summary

North Somerset Council has concluded its procurement process for the development of a GIS-based visualisation software, awarding the contract to RiskAware Ltd. This tender, under the buying organisation North Somerset Council, falls within the services industry category concerning Geographic Information Systems (GIS), development software packages, and geology, oceanography, and hydrology services. The procurement took place through an open procedure, with a contract value of £75,000, aimed at serving the region of England, United Kingdom. The tender invitation was published on 18th June 2025, and the contract period commenced on 1st August 2025, running until 31st January 2026. Following an active tender period ending on 14th July 2025, the award was published on 3rd September 2025.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in GIS development and related services, particularly those focused on integrating complex models and offering high-performance solutions. The project requires a platform capable of online and offline operations, enhancing its applicability to a wider customer base, including non-technical users. Companies with expertise in developing intuitive and interactive software, integrating data such as LiDAR-derived terrain and hydraulic models, would find this contract particularly rewarding. Moreover, the suitability criteria highlight opportunities particularly favourable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) seeking to leverage their specialised skills in software development and geographic visualisation tools.

## Notice

North Somerset Council is seeking a specialist supplier to design, build and hand-over an intuitive, GIS-based visualisation platform that shows in near-real time how changes to drains, sluices and other control structures affect water levels on the Gordano, Tickenham-Nailsea and Kenn peat moors. The tool must operate both online and fully offline, let non-technical users adjust a water-level slider, toggle existing structures, sketch hypothetical bunds or weirs, and instantly see the knock-on effects from Internal Drainage Board scale down to individual farm gutters. It must integrate LiDAR-derived terrain, the new 1D-2D hydraulic model and predefined seasonal scenarios, while redrawing inundation maps in under a second and maintaining at least ten frames per second on a typical laptop.
