Maintenance and Usage Rights for ESRI Products

The City of Longueuil is seeking to secure maintenance and usage rights for ESRI products through a direct award contract (Contrat de gré à gré). This procurement falls under Category G8 - Computer Hardware and Software, specifically for computer software licenses. The rationale for the direct award cites specific articles of the Quebec government's public procurement legislation (LCV, CM, CMM, CMQ, STC), indicating a special contract related to the use of software and packaged programs. This suggests that the City of Longueuil requires ongoing support, updates, and the continued legal right to use ESRI's geographic information system (GIS) software. ESRI is a leading provider of GIS technology, and their software is likely integral to various municipal operations, such as land management, urban planning, emergency services, and infrastructure mapping. The contract will ensure that the City has access to the latest versions, technical support, and necessary licenses to maintain the functionality and security of its GIS systems. This ensures operational continuity and the effective utilization of these critical software assets for municipal services.

This is a supplies contract in the information and communication technology sector, with a focus on Software and IT support. Located in Canada, North America, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
