Summary of the contracting process

The contracting authority, HM Land Registry, has awarded an active contract for "Surveying Services and Mapping Data Updates" to Ordnance Survey Limited. The procurement falls under the services category with a focus on surveying services. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication. The award value is £14,600,000, and the contract was signed on March 17, 2023. The contracting authority, based in Croydon, United Kingdom, required services related to the creation and maintenance of MasterMap, which only Ordnance Survey can provide due to technical and exclusive rights reasons.

This procurement process offers opportunities for businesses in the surveying industry, particularly those with expertise in map-making and surveying services. The award criteria were based on pricing, and the ability to provide exclusive services related to MasterMap was a key factor in the sole sourcing decision. Businesses capable of fulfilling unique mapping data requirements and providing surveying services tailored to the needs of the contracting authority would be well-suited to compete in this context.

Notice Title

Surveying Services and Mapping Data Updates

Notice Description

Provision of Surveying services; MasterMap Daily Update Service and Feature Validation Data Set

Lot Information

Lot 1

The contracting authority has a legal requirement (under the Land Registration Act 2002) to create a Title Plan and Index Map 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)

Options: An Extension Period of between one and three years can be selected at the discretion of the contracting authority.

Procurement 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 that competition is absent for technical reasons.
