## Summary

Renfrewshire Council, based in Paisley, is engaged in a completed procurement process for the provision of a Geographical Information System (GIS). The procurement, classified under industry-specific software packages, was conducted as a limited tender under a negotiated procedure, designed to protect exclusive rights. The contract, valued at £25,500, was signed on 1 April 2021. This initiative aims to support various council activities, including public mapping services and operational efficiencies, ensuring vital geospatial data is accessible across platforms for community benefit.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in GIS software and related technological solutions to engage with a significant local authority project. Companies adept in providing bespoke GIS products or services that enhance operational capabilities would be well-positioned to participate in similar future contracts. Given the exclusive nature of the rights held by ESRI, firms with innovative geospatial solutions or those capable of forming partnerships could find avenues for collaboration or competition in subsequent tenders issued by local councils.

## Notice

The Council requires the continuation of its Geographical Information System (GIS), which operate on desktop server and mobile platforms to deliver data driven knowledge to all sectors and levels of the Council. The Council relies upon the GIS software to deliver geospatial services to citizens and external partners including mapping applications on our public website, vehicle routing functionality and gritter tracking while third parties use the mapping software for information and progress reporting on projects such as gully cleaning operations and the installation, commissioning and deinstallation of Christmas lights.

### Lot Information
