Summary of the contracting process

Ordnance Survey Limited, the esteemed mapping agency of Great Britain, is in the planning stage for a framework agreement titled 'Provision of Technology Services Framework Agreement'. This procurement process is crucial for sourcing consultancy resources from technical consultancy suppliers to support technological development projects, especially within the geospatial, IT security, and software development sectors. Although the tender is still in the planning phase, it highlights significant future activity with a communication notice due by 1st May 2026 and contract execution starting from 5th December 2026 until 4th December 2030. The initiative falls under the services category and targets the region of the United Kingdom, particularly UKJ32, with an estimated procurement value of £8,000,000 and a gross value of £9,600,000.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in IT services, including consulting, software development, and technical support. The framework's suitability for SMEs implies a competitive edge for smaller enterprises equipped with innovative solutions and skilled resources. These businesses can leverage the opportunity to engage in further competition for call-off contracts, tailoring proposals either on a time and materials basis or milestone-based models, thereby expanding their market presence and forging long-term relationships with Ordnance Survey. Given the wide-ranging and technically demanding scope of the projects, firms with expertise in geospatial applications, user experience, and mobile application development will find lucrative possibilities for growth within this framework.
