ABANDONED - Land Referencing Common Platform

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. However, as a result of the Government's decision to cancel Phase 2 of HS2, the Land Referencing Common Platform procurement has been abandoned for the reasons outlined below: • there is an anticipated reduction in use of the platform, specifically due to cancellation of Phase 2 of the HS2 Project; • there is an anticipated reduction in users of any such platform, due to cancellation of Phase 2 of the HS2 Project; and, • due to the reduction in use, and the anticipated costs of such solution, utilisation of a common platform is no longer deemed by HS2 Ltd to constitute value for money. Full details of the service requirements prior to abandonment of the procurement can be found in the procurement documentation within the linked Contract Notice.
