    Brief

    Cornwall Council is awarding a five-year contract to Esri (UK) Ltd for its Corporate Geographic Information System (GIS) platform. The contract covers software licensing, cloud services, support, maintenance and associated GIS capabilities, commencing 18 August 2026 and expiring 17 August 2031, with a total value of £754,420.51 excluding VAT. An optional five-year extension is available (potential total value £1.7-£1.9 million excluding VAT, subject to future negotiation). The GIS platform is a critical enterprise system supporting Planning, Building Control, Land Charges, Highways, Elections, Waste Management, Emergency Planning, Property Services, Public Health, Customer Services and public-facing mapping. Following comprehensive market engagement, no alternative supplier could meet all mandatory technical, operational, security and integration requirements through a single solution. The Council determined that supplier change would create disproportionate technical and operational risk given the complexity of existing integrations, statutory service dependencies and planned cloud migration strategy. This award was made under Schedule 5, Paragraphs 6 and 7 of the Procurement Act 2023 based on technical necessity and absence of reasonable alternatives. A Transparency Notice was published on 14 October 2025 (reference 2025/S 000-065139) with no subsequent market challenges. The statutory standstill period concludes 13 August 2026, with contract commencement on 14 August 2026.
