This initiative falls under the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) industry and is based in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. Interested organisations must register on the Council's electronic tendering system and download the documentation by 5.00pm on Thursday, 1st June 2017, with responses due by 11.00am on Friday, 16th June 2017. The council is conducting Soft Market Testing to understand market offerings and gauge interest and costs for future procurement opportunities, with this exercise aimed at informing the development of requirements for collaborative procurement among councils. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in GIS solutions and associated services to engage with Derbyshire County Council. Companies that can provide innovative Geographic Information Systems, along with comprehensive support services, will be particularly well-suited to compete. By participating in the Soft Market Testing exercise, businesses can showcase their capabilities and potentially shape the upcoming tender process, which could ultimately lead to contracts lasting up to five years. This engagement can facilitate growth for businesses looking to expand their footprint in the public sector. ## Notice Derbyshire County Council would like to hear from organisations willing to share information about their approach to the provision of a Corporate GIS Solution with Associated Services, to enable the Council to: * Gauge the likely level of interest in the project from the market; * Better understand what solutions and services are available in the market; * Explore how the options could be supplied; * Consider the likely costs; and * Determine the most effective way of packaging and scoping its requirements for any future procurement opportunity. The Council is undertaking Soft Market Testing in the form of a questionnaire, in order to explore the market and help inform the development of its requirements. Other councils may be interested in participating in this Soft Market Testing exercise and Derbyshire County Council may share the information with other councils interested in a GIS solution. This could lead to an opportunity for a collaborative procurement. Suppliers that are interested in responding need to register on the Council's electronic tendering system and download the available documentation by 5.00pm on Thursday 1st June and submit a response by 11.00am on Friday 16th June 2017. The Council anticipates that any contract resulting from subsequent tendering could be for an initial period of 3 years, with options to extend up to a maximum term of 5 years. However, this will be determined following Soft Market Testing. Suppliers should ignore any contract start and end dates published as this is a pre-tender exercise only. A PIN has been issued for publication in OJEU on 15th May 2017. *SOFT MARKET TESTING EXERCISE* ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/83312551-cab2-4763-a7de-59d03a9aa973 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 May 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MATLOCK | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE4 3AG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF13 South and West Derbyshire | | Local authority | Derbyshire Dales | | Electoral ward | Matlock West | | Westminster constituency | Derbyshire Dales | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38221000 - Geographic information systems (GIS or equivalent) ## Release History - 16 May 2017 at 14:50 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/83312551-cab2-4763-a7de-59d03a9aa973 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/83312551-cab2-4763-a7de-59d03a9aa973 16th May 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/?openForm Link to Council's e-tendering site ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
