As detailed in Contract Notice 2023/S 000-010140, HS2 Ltd was intending to award a contract for the provision of a Land Referencing Common Platform (a central, spatially-enabled Land Referencing Common Platform intended to enable consistency and integrity of land referencing data/ services delivered by multiple land referencing service suppliers to HS2 Ltd).
The expected contract duration was four (4) years and six (6) months with the option to extend for a further period of four (4) years via single or multiple fixed terms.
