Provision of Geographic Information System Support Services

Tender description

The Authority is seeking a range of support services to deliver the strategy and other NTA business requirements. The services will be drawn down by the Authority as required. The Geographic Information System (GIS) is a key requirement for the NTA in supporting its transport planning remit and informing investment and service priorities. The Authority proposes to engage a consultant to provide spatial data management and spatial data analyses services to assist with the work programmes of various departments in the Authority. The engagement may include working in the offices of the NTA or remotely depending on the particular work package. The Authority may also wish for a resource to be present in the office for some months to assist on a number of projects. Either way, it is the Authority that will decide the work location. Depending on the project, the Authority would also like its personnel to have the ability to learn from the tasks being carried out. This may take a form similar to paired programming or NTA personnel being included on task orders. The exact workings will be agreed on a project by project basis. The Authority has identified six categories of Services required under this engagement: • Category 1: General GIS Services; • Category 2: Provide data management advice and support; • Category 3: Analysis of spatial data & tool development; • Category 4: Provide and/or provide advice on high quality visualisations; • Category 5: Data Acquisition; and • Category 6: Provide specialised advice.
