## Notice

The Geospatial Commission aims to improve the findability and accessibility of housing and planning data through the development of a trusted portal. The discovery and alpha roadmap will provide user research, review existing services/portals to inform the digital solution and outline possible strategies/plans for solution implementation. The Geospatial Commission needs to appoint a supplier to deliver the discovery phase and outline a roadmap for the alpha phase of the Housing and Planning FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) data project. The objective of the H&P FAIR data project is to address inefficiency around the use of geospatial data in housing and planning by improving its findability and access through the development of a trusted portal. Discovery will explore user needs and feasibility of creating a digital solution whereby users can access various housing and planning data from one trusted portal. Opportunity advertised via the Digital MarketPlace under the Digital Outcomes Specialist 4 framework
