<p class="MsoNormal">It is important that the provided services are Open Source and not specific to one provider, all services should be available through OSGeo/FOSS4G and free from Licencing costs or other restrictions of use. Initially we are not looking
for cloud services, physical infrastructure will be provided, but advice on this may initially be required to help establish a complete solution.<o:p></o:p></p>
