Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Finance bought mobile editing software for Land and Property Services (LPS) field surveyors. It is used to update Northern Ireland’s large-scale digital vector maps at scales of 1:1,250 and 1:2,500. The requirement is for a preferably single, integrated mobile editing solution, including the associated licensing, support and maintenance. The work supports field mapping and surveying across Northern Ireland. The procurement is for software and related services rather than for a general geographic information system or standalone surveying equipment.

The procurement has been awarded to KOREC Limited, and the contract is active. The award date is not stated in the available award information; the contract was signed on 17 February 2017. The contract value is £2,576,600, with a period of 3,600 days. The procurement was arranged as one lot, covering mobile editing software and its licensing, support and maintenance. A later contract modification allows additional supplies to replace GNSS kits and total stations, to modernise the OSNI field survey fleet and maintain compatibility with the editing software. The stated basis for that modification was the need for additional supplies and the difficulty and cost of changing supplier. Evaluation criteria and the procurement method are not stated.

For a future requirement from this buyer, credible suppliers would need to provide mobile mapping software that field surveyors can use to update detailed digital vector mapping across Northern Ireland. The solution should work as an integrated editing system and support the software licensing, maintenance and operational support needed over a long-term deployment. Compatibility with survey instruments, including GNSS equipment and total stations, is commercially relevant: the buyer’s modification rationale emphasised avoiding extra integration, system development and disruption to established workflows. Suppliers with experience connecting field survey equipment to mapping and editing software, and sustaining those systems over an extended service life, would be well placed to compete. This was a substantial, long-running requirement for a large-scale mapping operation, rather than a small standalone software purchase.
