Tender description

North Somerset Council is seeking a specialist supplier to design, build and hand-over an intuitive, GIS-based visualisation platform that shows in near-real time how changes to drains, sluices and other control structures affect water levels on the Gordano, Tickenham-Nailsea and Kenn peat moors. The tool must operate both online and fully offline, let non-technical users adjust a water-level slider, toggle existing structures, sketch hypothetical bunds or weirs, and instantly see the knock-on effects from Internal Drainage Board scale down to individual farm gutters. It must integrate LiDAR-derived terrain, the new 1D-2D hydraulic model and predefined seasonal scenarios, while redrawing inundation maps in under a second and maintaining at least ten frames per second on a typical laptop.

About the buyer

North Somerset Council buys as a local authority serving Weston-super-Mare and the surrounding district, with its own tenders and procurement service. Higher-value opportunities are advertised on the regional Supplying the South West portal. Contracts meeting government thresholds also appear on the GOV.UK Find a Tender service. Service areas handle smaller opportunities directly and invite at least three organisations to quote. From April 2026, suppliers must register on the government's Central Digital Platform to bid under the Procurement Act 2023. The council's procurement strategy, covering 2026 to 2030, sets out its approach to social value and the local economy.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of North Somerset Council's contract awards have been in construction work, business services and architectural and engineering services.
