[Aust-NZ] Statistics New Zealand RFQ specifies ESRI but not OGC standards

[Cameron Shorter]

Something which our New Zealand subscribers may wish to pursue:

Statistics New Zealand has just put out a RFP for "SP3-A83 Geospatial 
Infrastructure Project" which specifies ESRI, but doesn't specify OGC 
standards.

I suspect this conflicts with New Zealand's SDI strategy?

The vision of the Geospatial Infrastructure project is that "Statistics 
New Zealand becomes spatially enabled". This project will develop the 
core geographic infrastructure required to achieve spatial enablement -- 
an address point-based geographic frame using geospatial technology.
This project is the legacy mitigation solution to replace the current 
text-based 'Geoframe' and the plethora of standalone systems and manual 
processes currently in use by Statistics New Zealand.

A 'Geospatial Management System' (GMS) will be developed in a Geographic 
Information System using ESRI ArcGIS. The management and maintenance of 
Statistics New Zealand's core geographic infrastructure, including 
addresses, meshblocks (Statistics NZ's building block geography) and 
derived geographies, will be centralised within a spatial environment.

The consultant/s will be responsible for:
1. assisting Statistics NZ with the implementation and configuration of 
geospatial software and data
2. assisting Statistics NZ with configuring business and software rules
3. providing support documentation for all implementation and 
configuration activities, and
4. up-skilling Statistics New Zealand staff on the above services.
