Why this procedure was chosen
KOREC is the only supplier able to provide the K Portal licence because they are the owner and sole provider of a platform that currently hosts all our survey data and asset intelligence. There is no internal alternative capable of storing or accessing this information. Currently, K-portal hosts historic data covering 4 years across 272 concrete schemes nationally. There is 32 Terra Bytes of data being hosted covering 6,730 lane Km’s. Seeking an alternative external solution would require significantly longer and significantly higher funding. In the meantime, continued access to K-portal is essential for assessing the best solutions for the multi RIS, multi billion pound concrete roads programme.
