FORESTRY COMMISSION awarded a contract to ESRI (UK) LTD for GIS Solutions and Services.

The contract covers the provision of an externally hosted systems solution delivered to web browsers, with remote access to hosting servers for data management purposes.

The 'Forester' GIS is an integrated platform for land management used by all public forestry bodies in GB, providing a single spatial solution for multi-functional and dispersed teams to manage and collaborate on inventory and management data.

The contract includes continuation of Business-as-Usual operations (hosted infrastructure, application support and maintenance, development services for extensions and integrations), discovery and design of the future roadmap for Forester (reviewing current design and deployment patterns against modern patterns, possibly involving a major re-write of application code and movement to new development frameworks), and phased implementation of the roadmap and transition of service arrangements.

The contract value is £3,250,000.
