## Summary

The University of Edinburgh awarded a contract for the procurement of EDINA GeognoSIS Software to Cadcorp. The University conducted a limited procurement method using an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The software is a critical component of Digimap's mapping infrastructure, serving academic institutions in the UK. The contract, worth £82,075 GBP, was signed on 26th June 2023.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for software companies specializing in geospatial services. Given the unique requirements of the University of Edinburgh's Digimap service and the technical constraints identified, businesses with expertise in GIS software development and a track record of innovation could be well-suited to compete. Furthermore, suppliers capable of providing tailored solutions to meet the specific needs of academic institutions in the UK higher education sector may find this tender particularly suitable for their business growth strategies.

### Procurement Information

Recent market research studies have shown if the University of Edinburgh were to replace the Cadcorp software, would in fact require a complete re-engineering of the Digimap service. The Cadcorp software is an integral part of Digimap and no alternative software is immediately directly compatible without an entire re-development of every aspect of the service. In addition to this, the investment (in terms of time and staff effort) required to replace the software at this stage would force the service to close on financial grounds. Changing the software now would also offer no material improvement to the service either for the customer or for internal operational efficiency.
