HM Land Registry appoints Version 1 to modernise property data
It will work with HMLR on data services, geospatial analytics, reporting systems and digital access.
HM Land Registry (HMLR) appointed Version 1 as its data delivery partner to update how UK land and property data is managed and used.
The four-year contract has a maximum call-off value of £52m and includes an option for a further year.
It will work with HMLR on data services, geospatial analytics, reporting systems and digital access.
The firm will provide services covering AWS and Microsoft cloud platforms, data engineering, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, security and geospatial data.
HM Land Registry will lead the programme, with Version 1 working alongside its teams and transferring knowledge during the contract.
Kirsty Eales, deputy director of strategic resourcing, planning and performance at HMLR, said: “HM Land Registry holds some of the most strategically important geospatial and property data in the country.
“This programme is about making that data work harder for our organisation, for government and for the citizens and businesses who depend on it every day.
“We needed a partner that understands the land economy, operates well in a risk-sensitive environment and is committed to HMLR achieving its own capability rather than creating long-term dependency.”
Eales added: “Version 1 did not arrive with a fixed view of what the answer should look like but instead they listened carefully, asked the right questions and came back with proposals that were specific to our situation and our constraints, giving us confidence in how this partnership will succeed in practice.”
Roop Singh, CEO at Version 1, said: “HM Land Registry is one of the most data-rich organisations in the UK public sector, and what they are setting out to do here matters well beyond their own remit.
“They know what their data can do, they understand the scale of what it means for citizens, business and the wider public sector and they have been deliberate and serious about how they go about realising that.
“Programmes of this ambition succeed or fail on whether the client is leading from the front.”
Singh added: “HMLR is doing just that and our job is to match that ambition, bring the right expertise to bear and make sure the capability we build together outlasts our involvement.”
