Agenda item

The Committee received a report of the Director of the Built Environment seeking approval to extend the contract with ESRI, the supplier of the GIS (mapping) software.

The Committee was advised that the number of licences currently available was insufficient to meet the business need and rather than purchasing individual licences it was cheaper and more effective to enter into a three year Enterprise Licence Agreement which would enable the licence pool to be extended as business needs developed.

In response to a question the Director of the Built Environment advised that the cost of the Licence was spilt between all the departments that used it.

RESOLVED – To

1)        Approve the waiver of regulation 9 of the Corporation’s Procurement Regulations; and

2)        Approve the award of the contract for the ESRI Enterprise Licence Agreement to ESRI(UK) for a value of £40,000pa for the period of 3 years (£120,000 in total).
