## Summary

Renfrewshire Council has completed the tender process for "The Provision of a GIS System," aimed at maintaining its Geographical Information System (GIS). The procurement falls under the goods category and was conducted as a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The award was made to ESRI (UK) Limited for the total value of £25,500, and the contract was signed on 1 April 2021. This initiative is part of the council's operations in Paisley, UK, designed to enhance their geospatial services accessible to citizens and external partners.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in GIS technology and services, particularly those with solutions tailored to geographical and mapping applications. Companies experienced with similar systems or those possessing innovative geospatial solutions would be well-positioned to engage in future tenders, expanding their market reach within public sector contracts. Additionally, businesses that can offer bespoke services aligned with the exclusive rights held by providers like ESRI may find strategic partnerships advantageous for entering the public procurement landscape.

## 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.
