Summary of the contracting process

Ordnance Survey Limited procured a subscription to Leica Captivate survey field software. The software enables surveyors to visualise, measure and edit 3D models and point clouds directly on field devices, including Leica CS20 controllers and CS35 tablets. The requirement is a data-processing service supporting survey and geospatial field operations across the United Kingdom. The buyer is Ordnance Survey Limited, a public undertaking based in Southampton. The selected supplier, Leica Geosystems Ltd, provides the software and associated subscription service. This opportunity is relevant to suppliers of specialist surveying software, geospatial data-processing tools, field-based measurement systems and related technical support for professional survey teams.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed and awarded to Leica Geosystems Ltd. The contract was signed on 10 April 2025, covering the period from 10 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. Its value was £96,990 excluding VAT and £116,388 including VAT. The contract was terminated with the stated reason that it was completed; implementation ended on 31 March 2026, with a final value of £96,990 excluding VAT and £116,388 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated and concluded through the buyer’s direct-award route rather than an open competitive tender.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Ordnance Survey for specialist survey-field software that works on Leica controllers and tablets and supports visualisation, measurement, editing, 3D models and point clouds. A credible future competitor would need a mature geospatial or surveying application, reliable operation on field hardware and the ability to support professional survey workflows across the United Kingdom. Relevant strengths would include data processing, 3D and point-cloud handling, mobile or tablet deployment, software subscriptions and technical support. Suppliers competing with an established specialist such as Leica Geosystems would also need evidence that their platform integrates effectively with survey equipment and can be adopted by experienced surveyors.
