The Provision of a GIS System

Description

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. ArcGIS also provides the survey platform used in public consultation and the Council’s Open Data Portal. Lot 1: This procurement exercise was conducted using the negotiated procedure in accordance with Regulation 33 (1)(b) (iii) of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015 which states that “a contracting authority may award a public contract following negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice or prior information notice in any of the following cases— (iii)the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights but only, in the case of paragraphs (ii) and (iii), where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement."
