Direct award justification

  • Single supplier - technical reasons
  • Additional or repeat goods, services or works - extension or partial replacement

Prior to 2012 the only available procurement route for Ordnance Survey (OS) data products was by a monopoly purchase arrangement with the OS themselves. The opening up of a reseller market allowed us to follow a tendered provision in 2012. Subsequently, these data products were purchased through two successful OJEU tenders, in 2012 and 2015.The renewal scope has not changed from previous years and includes:

• OS MasterMap Topography

• OS AddressBase Premium

• OS MasterMap Highways Road

• Codepoint Polygons

• Terrain 5 Tiles

As well as the OS mapping technology, Landmark are providing an integrated automated service wrapper that if removed it would impact Accenture's support costs as there would be much more manual activity involved -This interoperability is the reason why we must direct award.
