The opening up of a reseller market allowed us to follow a tendered provision in 2012. Subsequently, these data products were purchased through two successful OJEU tenders, in 2012 and 2015.The renewal scope has not changed from previous years and includes:\n•\tOS MasterMap Topography\n•\tOS AddressBase Premium\n•\tOS MasterMap Highways Road\n•\tCodepoint Polygons\n•\tTerrain 5 Tiles\nAs well as the OS mapping technology, Landmark are providing an integrated automated service wrapper that if removed it would impact Accenture's support costs as there would be much more manual activity involved -This interoperability is the reason why we must direct award.",
