Cadcorp now listed on S-CAT for UK public sector procurement

Cadcorp, developer of the pioneering Cadcorp SIS - Spatial Information System GIS software, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded an S-CAT framework agreement for category 15, GIS software.

S-CAT is a catalogue based procurement scheme to provide UK public sector organisations with a simplified, centralised method of procuring, and contracting for a wide range of consultancy and specialist services from a variety of service providers. Category 15 is a new category to be added in 2003 and will help public sector organisations in their selection of GIS products and services. As part of this agreement, Cadcorp software and services are recommended for use by Local and Central Government.

Cadcorp has a long experience in serving public sector customers in the UK and abroad. Over sixty UK local authorities, half the UK ambulance services and central government customers such as the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), The Rural Payment Agency (RPA), The Hydrospatial and Coastguard Agency (MCGA) and Welsh Health Estates use Cadcorp software and services. Bidding for inclusion in S-CAT is therfore a natural and important step for Cadcorp to make.

Cadcorp's S-CAT listed service offerings are as follows:

15b - Evaluation, Analysis and Management of Geospatial Data
15c - GIS Application and Software Development
15d - Provision of Software Value Added Services

Mike O'Neil, Managing Director, Cadcorp stated: “This is an important milestone for Cadcorp and our software and services in the public sector. Local and central government business has been integral to Cadcorp since we entered the GIS business and continues to be a key area of focus and effort for us. Being listed on S-CAT makes procurement easier for our potential customers and also places us in the right shop window for future public sector procurement exercises".
