Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is seeking to contract for the "Provision of Republic of Ireland Digital Mapping Datasets", primarily targeting the database services industry. This procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract having been signed on 5th August 2021. The successful supplier, Ordnance Survey Ireland, will provide digital mapping data for the Republic of Ireland to the Defence Geographic Centre. The procurement method was limited, specifically under an award procedure that did not require prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the unique capabilities of the supplier.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in data services, particularly those that focus on geographic information systems and digital mapping. Companies with expertise in providing specialised datasets or similar services would be well-positioned to compete in future procurement opportunities. Given the awarded nature of this contract, businesses offering complementary services or those looking to engage in subcontracting may also find avenues for collaboration with the primary supplier, Ordnance Survey Ireland, enhancing their market presence in the wider defence and mapping sectors.

Procurement Information

In accordance with the provisions of The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 SI No. 2020/1319, this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as amended (in particular by SI 2020/1319). Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate. It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (in accordance with the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 32(b)(ii) of the PCR 2015 because competition is absent for technical reasons. This is because OSI is the national mapping agency for the Republic of Oreland and is the only producer and supplier of the accurate homogeneous Ireland-wide coverage and large-scale town plan digital datasets required. OSI owns these datasets and no other seller is able to supply full national coverage or license any purchaser for anything other than personal use.
