## Summary

Leicestershire County Council is seeking a GIS Architecture Implementation and Support Partner to assist with the transition to a new GIS system, replacing its current setup. The contract value is £70,000, and the procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with the tender period ending on 16th October 2017. This opportunity is classified under the software package and information systems category, with delivery needed in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The contract is set to commence on 6th November 2017 and will run for three years until 5th November 2020.

This tender presents excellent opportunities for businesses specialising in GIS technology, software development, and IT support services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, given their ability to offer agile and tailored services. Potential bidders should be prepared to assist with the architecture design, implementation, and training for approximately 160 GIS users, ensuring a smooth transition to the new open-source database and webserver stack.

## Notice

Leicestershire County Council (LCC) is replacing its GIS architecture. The current position is that GIS data is stored in MapInfo file format on file and print servers. GIS users create and edit MapInfo files on their local file and print servers, the data is published (usually nightly) on to a central file and print server where it is accessible to the wider authority. Some data is produced and consumed by systems procured to fit in with this architectural landscape. The Council find the current set up restrictive and non-performant. Options have been evaluated and a decision has been made to move to an open source database and webserver stack (PostgreSQL / PostGIS, GeoServer), hosted on premise, and QGIS as the main GIS desktop application. A GIS Partner is required to design, build and provide 3rd line support for the architecture stack (including QGIS) and provide help and guidance with the deployment of QGIS to approximately 160 GIS users to ease the transition. LCC will provide all hardware as required / agreed. Formal training and knowledge transfer will be required. For further information on this opportunity visit https://www.eastmidstenders.org
