Ordnance Survey wants to be able to obtain skilled staff from software/ product (UX) companies where these staff may work on Ordnance Survey premises. Any skilled staff supplied will be an employee of the software company. These staff may work in a number of different ways:
– Within Ordnance Survey team, for as little as 1 week, up to a long period of engagement,
– On Ordnance Survey projects, but within their own companies.
At all times under the two scenarios described above, work undertaken will be under the management and guidance of Ordnance Survey
– The software company may also be commissioned to undertake a specific and defined piece of work.
Under this scenario work undertaken will be under the management and guidance of the company who is awarded the business and will be undertaken on the suppliers’ premises.
This tender is divided into 3 Lots:
Lot 1 – Commercial user experience capability including but not necessarily limited to mobile and web arenas;
Lot 2 – Commercial mobile development capability across the whole software development lifecycle including but not limited to design, development, testing and support;

It is anticipated that Ordnance Survey will award more than one contract for each lot, but no more than four contracts will be awarded per lot. On identification of new work successful suppliers will be contacted and work will be awarded according to the criteria which prevail at the time of identification. This is likely to be cost, availability, quality and/ or a combination of these criteria.
