One Scotland – coming closer to One Geography Dominic Cuthbert Cameron Easton Iain Mckay

Introduction This paper describes a new partnership between Scotland’s public sector and Ordnance Survey The One Scotland Mapping Agreement

It started with – the GI Strategy for Scotland: Strategy Objective 2 Ensure that everyone can use the most up-to-date and accurate geographic information about Scotland that can be delivered with best use of resources. Strategy Objective 3 Develop and promote the means whereby geographic information can be shared, within the practical limits of best value, so as to give a high quality and knowledge “return” from each set of data. Delivering these objectives will create - A Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) for Scotland “ The Spaces, Faces and Places of Scotland” Where did the Agreement come from? - #1 One Scotland: One Geography

A fundamental principle of One Scotland: One Geography: Delivery involves the entire Scottish Public Sector ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],An integrated and co-ordinated approach Where did the Agreement come from? - #2

The Public Sector uses two types of Core Data/Base Data/Reference Geographies/Key Geographies Data created by the SCOTTISH PUBLIC SECTOR Data created by OTHERS – often commercial data suppliers ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Where did the Agreement come from? - #3

The strongest and most frequent response to the consultation on One Scotland: One Geography “ Existing arrangements for procurement and use of base data are unsatisfactory” What we did and why we did it - #1 ,[object Object],[object Object]

These responses applied to all base data/suppliers However the majority of comments were about Ordnance Survey Therefore the first priority was to act to address the problems defined by the Scottish public sector New procurement rules for the Scottish public sector mandated an entirely new, collaborative, public sector approach The re-tendering of PGA/MSA provided the opportunity to rethink our approach What we did and why we did it - #2 ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Our initial approach to Ordnance Survey was extremely positive: Initially PGA/MSA were reluctant to support our proposal Time from initial approach to final agreement What we did and why we did it - #3 ,[object Object],[object Object],2 Years

Fundamental issues had to be addressed - The Agreement had to be Crown to Crown - We had to balance the benefits of this approach: - With the downside: - The final Agreement is a compromise between legal constraints and flexibility of use - We had to disengage from existing agreements and ensure continuity of data supply What we did and why we did it - #4 ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The outcome is that Scottish organisations: The Agreement has been successfully completed with minimum administrative overhead Therefore the Agreement has achieved its aims: What we did and why we did it - #5 ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The Agreement establishes an entirely new way forward Partnership brings a fundamental change in approach ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],What makes the One Scotland Agreement different?

What are the Benefits? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

At the beginning there was limited understanding of each other’s requirements/limitations Potentially the biggest stumbling block The Formal Concordat between Scottish Ministers and Local Authorities provided the necessary guarantees that the Agreement would be binding on all members What were the Issues? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

What are the Next Steps? Making the Agreement work Exploiting the Agreement to get maximum benefit for the citizens of Scotland ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The One Scotland Mapping Agreement was delivered in response to the objectives of One Scotland: One Geography It will support data sharing and information delivery systems in Scotland’s SDI It will deliver cost savings and efficiency/effectiveness gains for the Scottish public sector It will act as a model for procurement of other base datasets Therefore the Agreement is an overwhelming success Conclusion
