This decentralized approach has led to duplication of datasets, inconsistent coverage, variable quality, and limited reuse.

The project supports National Grid's ambition to move to enterprise wide data reuse, stronger governance, and improved commercial outcomes; a single tool that provides a variety of datasets such as ordnance survey, natural resources, environmental etc. * Objectives: * Establish a single, enterprise-wide procurement and governance model for all geospatial (GIS) data across NG Group, UK. * Replace fragmented, project-led data purchasing with standardized, centrally managed access. * Eliminate duplication, inconsistent coverage, and limited reuse caused by historic Business Unit-led procurement. * Improve visibility, control, and availability of both licensed/premium and open geospatial datasets. * Enable cost reduction and greater value through enterprise-wide reuse and optimized licensing. * Successful supplier will supply, license, and support core geospatial datasets and * Enable access to both premium and open datasets. The maps and data should be provided through electronic means, via a suitable software platform.", "status": "active", "items": [ { "id": "1", "additionalClassifications": [ { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "38221000", "description": "Geographic information systems (GIS or equivalent)" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "48000000", "description": "Software package and information systems" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "71000000", "description": "Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "72000000", "description": "IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support" } ], "deliveryAddresses": [ { "region": "UK", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" } ], "relatedLot": "1" } ], "value": { "amountGross": 0, "amount": 0, "currency": "GBP" }, "procurementMethod": "selective", "procurementMethodDetails": "Competitive flexible procedure", "procedure": { "features": "National Grid is running this Competitive Flexible Procedure in two rounds; 1.
