Description

Together Housing is seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified contractors to provide a solution for the replacement of the Geographic Information System (GIS)

Together Housing Association (THA) has invested in GIS technology over a number of years, recognising the opportunities it can provide for creating more effective and efficient processes. GIS is currently provided by a number of different providers /platforms: including MapInfo, Spatial Analyst. THA has a dedicated GIS officer who manages and oversees the current GIS technologies and is the subject matter expert for the organisation. THA uses GIS across several service delivery areas, including but not limited to: Development, Property Improvement, Environmental Services, Housing Management, Renewable energy and Marketing and Sales.
The purpose of this procurement is to enhance the current platforms employed and support a blended hybrid approach. Whereby more technical and detail use of the technologies can be undertaken by dedicated staff whilst at the same time a more generic and self-serve approach is available to the wider business and which allows for interaction with external customers. We would also like for the other division to be able to manipulate certain datasets specific for them. The system should also integrate into our other data analysis system which are R and Power Bi. We would also like to expand the products in the future to other devices such as mobile phones and play a role in company growth.
The purpose of this brief is to inform Together Housing of the future direction of GIS and its on-going support.
If you would be interested in meeting with together housing to discuss the options available to us then please express your interest via our procurement mailbox at thg.procurement@togetherhousing.co.uk
Expressions of interest will close on 17th May 2023 @2pm
