Ordnance Survey (OS) requires Suppliers to provide technology and data professional services to support the delivery of its strategic objectives, transformation programmes, products, services and operational requirements. The Suppliers shall deliver specialist technology and data expertise through a multi-lot framework agreement, providing access to suitably qualified professionals across a range of disciplines, including software engineering, geospatial applications, testing services and artificial intelligence. The framework will provide OS with a flexible and efficient route to market for the procurement of specialist resources and services required to support projects, programmes, service delivery and business change activities. The scope of the Framework includes, but is not limited to: • Provision of specialist resources and teams to support the design, development, implementation, enhancement and maintenance of geospatial applications and data solutions. • Provision of software development services to support digital products, online services, APIs, data integration, data processing, data sharing and related technology capabilities. • Provision of functional and non-functional testing services, including quality assurance, test automation, performance testing, security testing and associated testing activities. • Provision of artificial intelligence and machine learning services, including the design, development and deployment of AI-enabled solutions, agentic systems and other advanced AI capabilities. The Framework is intended to support OS in achieving improved delivery capability, enhanced service resilience, increased organisational agility, innovation, operational efficiency and the successful delivery of strategic technology and data initiatives. The successful Suppliers will be expected to work collaboratively with OS and relevant stakeholders to ensure the continuous delivery, improvement and optimisation of services throughout the Framework term. Suppliers will be required to provide resources that align with OS-defined role profiles, capability standards and specific business requirements. The Authority may require flexibility to accommodate changes in demand, technological developments, legislative requirements, organisational priorities, emerging technologies and future business needs during the Framework term. The Framework is to be divided into four Lots: • Lot 1: Geospatial Applications • Lot 2: General Software Development • Lot 3: General Testing Services • Lot 4: AI Services Suppliers may bid for one or more Lots. It is anticipated that up to three Suppliers will be appointed to each Lot. Call-off contracts may be awarded through either further competition or direct award in accordance with the Framework Agreement. OS does not guarantee any minimum level of spend under the Framework. Further details of the requirements are contained within the procurement documents.
As Great Britain’s national mapping agency, Ordnance Survey is responsible for capturing and maintaining the National Map of Great Britain. This is supported by a range of operational capabilities and technologies, including national-scale programmes for sensed data capture and processing. Ordnance Survey currently undertakes its own sensed data capture through cyclical and targeted flying programmes. The imagery collected supports production processes, helping to update and enhance the National Map. The imagery is also incorporated directly into the OS MasterMap Imagery Layer and used in the creation and derivation of a range of OS products. Ordnance Survey is seeking to enhance its sensed data capture capability to meet future customer needs. It therefore wishes to understand market capability to deliver remote sensed data from additional and alternative sensors. Ordnance Survey is considering two approaches and is releasing two Requests for Information (RFI); one for remote sensed data provisions (this RFI), the second to obtain options for acquiring aircraft, sensors and software for continued aerial acquisition as an in-house activity. The scope of this RFI is the provision of aircraft, sensors and software to support Ordnance Survey's aerial data capture requirements. Respondents are invited to describe how their capabilities and solutions could meet the requirements outlined within the RFI documentation and to propose appropriate delivery options. Options may include, but are not limited to: • The leasing of aircraft and provision of flying services to Ordnance Survey; • The leasing or rental of sensors and/or software to Ordnance Survey; • The purchase of sensors and/or software by Ordnance Survey.
