Notice Title

Geospatial Content Enhancement Framework

Notice Description

The Framework has been designed to provide OS with the capacity and capability to be able to collect, refine, correct, manage and maintain geospatial data for any area within Great Britain. The data provided through the Framework will be stored and disseminated by OS as part of its current or future product portfolio and may be included in any data or service that OS provides to its customers. Services provided under the Framework will predominantly, although not exclusively, be associated with National Geographic Database (NGD) data management activities which require a Framework Contractor to be able to: * Interpret, analyse and extract information from aerial imagery, other remotely sensed data sources, or pre-created features (from AFE) to add, delete or amend the NGD. * Add, delete or amend information within existing OS geospatial datasets to the current National Cyclic Revision (NCR) specification, to the required standard * Investigate, analyse, extract or compile information from non-OS datasets (subject to the relevant licensing arrangements being in place), where OS has explicitly instructed the Framework Contractor to do so, and/or the Framework Contractor has the rights to use the information to satisfy OS requirements. As a result, it is anticipated most data and Services will be provided through the use of desk-based data activities. Separate from the image interpretation and desk-based capture services, OS will welcome innovation from the framework contractors, through improvements to existing processes, automation and use of third-party datasets to support our ambitions, which can apply to any of the services covered in the scope. The Framework term will be for four years. The start date of the contract is April 1st 2026.
