Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The HM Land Registry has awarded a contract for Surveying Services and Mapping Data Updates to Ordnance Survey Limited. The procurement process involved a limited negotiation procedure without prior publication. The contract has a value of £14,600,000, and it spans from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2028. The services are related to creating and maintaining MasterMap, a crucial dataset for land registration purposes in Great Britain. The buying organisation is based in England, and the tender closed on August 1, 2022.

This awarded contract presents opportunities for businesses operating in the surveying services industry to collaborate with Ordnance Survey Limited. Given the technical reasons and exclusive rights related to MasterMap data, Ordnance Survey is the sole provider of these essential services, limiting competition. Businesses looking to partner with Ordnance Survey for mapping and surveying projects can benefit from this long-term contract with HM Land Registry. However, due to the specialised nature of the services required, only businesses with relevant expertise and capabilities will be well-suited to compete in this procurement process.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Surveying Services and Mapping Data Updates

Notice Description

The contracting authority has a legal requirement (under Land Registration Act 2002) to create a Title Plan and IndexMap based on the latest edition of the Ordnance Survey map for the purpose of land registration. To enable the contracting authority to do this, Ordnance Survey will provide the contracting authority with the following Services: - Standard Surveys; - Tracked Surveys; - Check Surveys; - Priority Surveys; - MasterMap Daily Update Service; and - Feature Validation Data Set (FVDS) Additional information: Ordnance Survey is the national mapping agency for Great Britain. The services to be provided by Ordnance Survey Ltd (OS) under this agreement have been awarded to OS in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) and Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 because OS is the sole provider of the services required due to technical reasons and due to OS's exclusive rights in respect of the MasterMap data. OS currently creates and maintains MasterMap which is a unique asset. MasterMap is the only nationally consistent dataset for the whole of Great Britain that is updated constantly and to the standards required by the contracting authority. The ability to hold, manipulate and maintain MasterMap is restricted to OS who are a wholly owned government company. Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy owns 100 % of the shares of OS. Currently, no other company can supply the surveying services required to update MasterMap and all the necessary services required to create and maintain it. Rule 5 of the Land Registration Rules 2003 requires that title plan has to be based on an Ordnance Survey map. As the sole provider of MasterMap and the data contained in it, there is no reasonable alternative or substitute to OS available and the contracting authority has concluded that the further disaggregation of services is not possible. It would not therefore be possible for the contracting authority to conduct an open tender process as competition is absent for technical reasons.
