Dotted Eyes has been chosen by the NHS in England and Wales to provide digital mapping data to the NHS in a landmark four-year agreement.
The company has been awarded the contract following an OJEU competitive tendering process run by The NHS Information Centre (The IC) on behalf of both ambulance trusts and the wider NHS in England.
The new arrangement provides NHS organisations with a range of digital mapping data products available through a fixed schedule of prices.
Ben Allan, managing director of Dotted Eyes, said: “Around 500 NHS organisations including NHS trusts, strategic health authorities and primary care trusts can apply to purchase mapping data under the scheme. All 11 ambulance service NHS trusts have already signed up and we delivered a full set of core data products to them within hours of the contract being signed.”

Dotted Eyes is sponsoring and exhibiting at Interact 08, the Pitney Bowes MapInfo and Pitney Bowes Group 1 user event, to be held at Birmingham’s NEC on 29th and 30th April.
Charlie Gilbert from Dotted Eyes will be joining West Midlands Police to give a presentation on ‘Safer Neighbourhoods’. West Midlands Police use our ResponseMX web mapping software to power MyNeighbourhood, a website which gives the general public access to crime maps online. These easy to understand maps show the public crime levels and trends whilst polls generate feedback allowing West Midlands Police to identify areas of concern. (more…)
An innovative website to store and map countywide community safety information is in development.
The website will provide members of the public with interactive maps showing crime levels in their neighbourhood. In addition, community safety data will be gathered from a wide variety of sources and displayed to allow users a true understanding of issues facing a local community. This approach will also ensure that numerous public agencies and voluntary groups target their limited resources effectively by working closely together and sharing the data they collect.
Buckinghamshire County Council; working in partnership with the four District Councils, Thames Valley Police and Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes Fire and Rescue Service; have awarded the contract to develop this website to Bromsgrove-based GIS specialists – Dotted Eyes.
Dotted Eyes has a strong reputation for developing partnership led community safety web applications, most notably the MyNeighbourhood website for West Midlands Police and COSMOS for Birmingham Community Safety Partnership.
Charlie Gilbert, Associate Director of Dotted Eyes, comments, “We are delighted to be working with Buckinghamshire County Council and its partners on this project. Our ResponseMX web mapping technology will enable users of both the public website and the secure extranet to be engaged with and informed through a collaborative approach.”
Margaret Dewar, Cabinet Member for Community Service at Buckinghamshire County Council has supported this project and the benefits it will bring to our communities: “The Community Safety Partnership has been working towards this project for many months and I am delighted that we can start developing this website. It will become a critical tool for making the neighbourhoods of Buckinghamshire an even safer place to live, work and visit.”
Paul Tinnion as Chair of the Partnership Board and BCU Commander explains how the project will benefit partners: ”The Information Hub is an exciting development and will provide all the partners with up to date information concerning safety. The success that the partnership has achieved in reducing crime can only be enhanced by development of this new venture.
The website will be launched in Autumn 2008 – watch this space!
