Notice Description
Ordnance Survey (OS) is Great Britain's National Mapping Service, providing the trusted location data that underpins everyday life. From transport and utilities to housing and logistics, our data supports critical infrastructure, public services, and economic growth. OS also supports the nation getting outside with the award-winning OS Maps app and other OS products, including guidebooks and physical products. OS maintains the National Map, a vast database of over 600 million geospatial features, updated 20,000 times a day. Our expertise in location intelligence helps businesses, government, and communities make smarter decisions -- whether planning sustainable cities, managing climate risks, or improving connectivity -- because everything happens somewhere. As part of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), we are driving the future of geospatial insights, ensuring Britain remains a leader in location data, and enabling a better-connected, more efficient, and resilient nation. This contract has been awarded to Catch A Fire Limited to act as an extension of the OS in-house design team. The contract is for an initial two years (with an optional 12-month extension). This contract value is up to PS300,000. This amount is not guaranteed and will flex depending on the amount.
