Published requirement descriptionNGN's current GIS landscape is built up of multiple complex, bespoke systems, which were setup by ESRI, which have been added to over the time and contain custom code supported
by ESRI under an NGN agreement.
Many of these systems have been or will soon be retired following NGN's recent investment to update our underlying GIS software. The work that we are doing with NGN's contracting partner to enhance our mapping software is reliant on ESRI technology but has given us the opportunity to review what our future landscape could look like from both an architectural and user perspective.

The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
- Published justification
NGN require a 3 month extension to our current Technical Support Agreement with ESRI.
The reasons are as follows:
NGN's current GIS landscape is built up of multiple complex, bespoke systems, which were setup by ESRI, which have been added to over the time and contain custom code supported
by ESRI under an NGN agreement.
Many of these systems have been or will soon be retired following our recent investment to update our underlying GIS software. The work that we are doing with NGN's contracting partner to enhance our mapping software is reliant on ESRI technology but has given us the opportunity to review what our future landscape could look like from both an architectural and user perspective.
Future licences and support will form part of the GISU programme, however, owing to a delay with this project and the requirement to upgrade core ESRI technology has resulted in NGN having to extend the current arrangements with ESRI for a further 3 months to ensure ongoing support for the current live solutions.
