OS is appointing an organisation “the Supplier” to deliver the Data Transformation and Ingestion (DT&I) Service component of the National Underground Asset Register (NUAR) Data Lifecycle. The NUAR Programme is a Government Digital Service (GDS) initiative to build a digital map of underground pipes and cables that will revolutionise the way the different sectors of the economy install, maintain, operate, and repair Great Britain’s buried infrastructure. Once operational, NUAR is envisaged to deliver £490 million per year of economic growth through increased efficiency, reduced asset strikes (when underground pipes and cables are accidentally damaged) and reduced disruptions for the public and businesses.
The NUAR Programme delivers underground asset data to thousands of utility users through the Safe-Dig User Interface. This improves the efficiency and safety of underground works by providing secure access to privately and publicly owned location data about the pipes and cables beneath our feet. The digital map, available through the Safe-Dig Interface, gives planners and excavators standardised access to the data they need, when they need it, to carry out their work effectively and safely. It also includes features to keep data secure and improve its quality over time.
Data processed, stored and published under NUAR represents assets critical to the functioning of the nation and therefore security is critical to the delivery of the NUAR Programme. The programme takes a security first approach to every aspect of delivery. This is particularly important for organisation handling the data as the successful DT&I Supplier will be responsible for providing an access point through the Data Supply Portal for the Asset Owner (AO) and then transforming the data to the NHDM. The NPSA and NPSC are key partners and NUAR has been identified by the former as an exemplar of how to implement security into a major programme of national significance.
The DT&I Service is the interface for all Asset Owner (AO) data entering NUAR. The service receives AO data, transforms it into the NHDM and makes it available for ingestion into the NUAR Holding DB. The Authority will then pull the data to the NUAR Holding DB.
