Intriguing RNS this morning that seems to suggest that the Streetworks product is ready to roll.

A bit of history. The National Underground Asset Register ( NUAR) was a project started by HMG to register all the underground assest in the UK . SPA provided the platform and the software to collate all the data and maintain the register.

This project is ongoing and expects to be fully completeed by 2025.

HMG, through the Geospatial Commission, will now allow open access to the data so as to extract economic benefit. This mandates the 1Streetworks product;

As they said in April 23;

A 'major milestone'
"This first release of NUAR is a major milestone in a programme that will benefit everyone," said Dr Steve Unger, Independent Commissioner, Geospatial Commission.

"By using the power of location data to plan and deliver street-works more effectively, it will improve the efficiency with which we supply essential services and it will minimise the disruption experienced by other road users. Many different asset types are buried beneath our feet, owned by many different organisations, large and small. We are delighted by the number of asset owners that have recognized the value of working with us, to make the data that they hold more accessible."


1Spatial CEO, Claire Milverton, said:

"1Spatial is delighted to be part of the team that are delivering the National Underground Asset Register (NUAR), which demonstrates our world leading geospatial capabilities and our ability to deliver on complex projects at scale. Our 1Spatial platform is responsible for transforming, validating, and maintaining the data from all contributing asset owners, demonstrating our world leading technology and skilled team.

We are excited about the project to explore widening access to NUAR, which could enable further economic benefit to be realised from the asset. It could also provide an upside opportunity for our 1Streetworks solution."

Alexandra Notay, Independent Commissioner, Geospatial Commission, said:

"It is fantastic to see the progress being made on delivering the core 'safe dig' use case that NUAR is intended to meet, and I am very proud of the team at the Geospatial Commission for delivering this collaborative project for and with a wide range of industry stakeholders. The supportive statements from users in the project update is a testament to the value that NUAR is already bringing to those who manage our underground assets.".


I read this announcement as a green light for users to access and use data on the NUAR register in an open way so as to get the economic benefits made possible from creating and maintaining the register.

IStreetworks is a shining example of how to use the data to create economic benefit. .

From a career development point of view, are you only supposed to do 3 years in post and then move on to something bigger and better. Could it be they are using 1Spa as a stepping stone on to a bigger company. Or, could it be policy to keep someone in post for only 3 years? Would have thought the latter unlikely. I have friends that have used getting in with small companies as a strategy- get their share allocation, then move on. One made a few million out of doing that. Postulating not stating as fact

It always amuses me when I see a sale/purchase of just 1 or sometimes 3 shares! Not just here but across all stocks. I have held these for I think about 15 years. Bought when they were Expose if memory serves me right and they were c£2 a share. Topped up at 37p so if nothing else, at least I've broken even. Would also be interested in forecast for 2024. Nothing on the sites I use other than a target price of c70p

My view
"the company seems quite excited about a software app they call TMPA which stands for Traffic Management Plan Automation. They have been developing this for the last 4 years. It automates the whole traffic management plan process according to “The Red Book”, which is the name given to the permission process and compliance requirements that need to be adhered to when anyone does any road works in the UK.

SPA’s tech means that a compliant application to do road works, complete with accurate location of affected underground assets, road redirection plans, signage requirements, road signage, traffic cones, stop & slow down signs , redirection signs etc. and notification requirements for service outages, can all be generated in under 30 seconds!

This is not a trivial matter because apparently there are 2.5m cases of minor roadworks in the UK and each has to be done in compliance with The Red Book. To date, the generation of the required Red Book compliant traffic management plan has been a very time-consuming, non-automated process with total industry costs estimated at around 500m GBP a year.

The promise is that SPA’s TMPA product is called 1 Streetworks makes traffic plans 100% automated, so that within 30 seconds of inputting data, the user will have a fully compliant plan with a map and complete spec for the job.

TMPA could be massive.

In a recent shareholder presentation, CEO Claire Milverton, suggested that the TMPA project could get them a 30% market share of the 2.5m cases of roadworks in the UK at 100 GBP a plan with 80%+ margins.

If so, then it is truly exciting to think that within 3 years, SPA could be generating turnover of 750,000 x 100 quid a year = That is 75 million GBP a year of additional turnover.
It could also be used in other territories

A solid year in the chairs words. The share price has moved within a tight range over the last couple of years and it's difficult to see that changing much although swing to profit should help.

Hi Robsy,

Yes, I do the same - write myself an investment justification and plan. I initially bought last July after talking to Clare and Team at Mello Chiswick Conf. I've been following them for several years but bought-in on the traction they are getting in the US - NG911 - a six out of six win rate I recall. I like a cookie cutter proposition. Also, I think they've got the strategy right - build a Cloud-based SaaS business with high recurring revenue. They are currently valued at x2 revenue - but once profitable, growing and margins improving - easily x4 - my share price target is 100p.

The 1Streetworks does look good if you run some scenarios but as I said above - market disrupting propositions usually take longer than one would expect to breakthrough - no matter how persuasive the proposition seems. If you prepare Traffic Management Applications for a living at £30 per hour - something that take 2 mins - is going to turn you into a luddite. However, should be high margin and thus a low revenue threshold to achieve breakeven and is thus low risk.

The other presentations from the Smarter Data Conference are also instructive. The geospatial data field is clearly becoming mainstream. There are a number of important themes presented that will drive future growth - not least in the transition to Carbon Neutral. All this further supports the investment thesis but I do like to see a clear path to cash breakeven to de-risk the investment case.

Regards Maddox

Hi Maddox
Interesting what you write.
I don-t have any industry knowledge but attach the notes I write to myself before I invest in anything. I do this to try and get a bit more discipline into my investing process.It helps me to know why , or sometimes why the hell, i bought something!
I hope you find it interesting. It is all a learning journey so i am happy to have it all critiqued.

" SPA has developed a software app they call TMPA which stands for Traffic Management Plan Automation. They have been developing this for the last 4 years. It automates the whole traffic management plan process according to “The Red Book”, which is the name given to the permission process and compliance requirements that need to be adhered to when anyone does any road works in the UK.

The promise is that SPA’s TMPA product makes traffic plans 100% automated, so that within 30 seconds of inputting data, the user will have a fully compliant plan with a map and complete spec for the job.

TMPA could be massive.

In a recent shareholder presentation, CEO Claire Milverton, suggested that the TMPA project could get them a 30% market share of the 2.5m cases of roadworks in the UK at 100 GBP a plan with 80%+ margins.

In the latest Investor Meet presentation. Claire suggests that with the TMPA project they would be looking to get 30% of the 2.5m cases of roadworks in the UK at 100 GBP a plan with 80% margins within 3 years.

If so, then it is truly exciting to think that within 3 years, we could be getting turnover of 750,000 x 100 quid a year = That is 75 million GBP a year of additional turnover. Is that a real aspiration that is thought-out , being maybe shadow budgeted for, or is it an aspiration at this stage? I asked more questions but got no answers.

I am trying to work out how realistic is this possible 75 million GBP turnover?

How would that business process look? What needs to happen? What is the time frame? What are the obstacles that need to be dealt with to get there ? What is in the budget to back up the aspiration?

OTS of ‘transformational growth opportunities’, also in the latest Investor Meet presentation, Claire estimated the scale of the market opportunity in USA for NG911 as being worth 1m USD per state, so that is 50m USD ARR and NG911 for the 23,000 counties and cities as being in the region of 100m USD ARR . These are also big figures.



Maybe generating 75m GBP a year at 80%+ margins is wildly optimistic? If they charged a mere 25 GBP a plan (the company talk of 100 GBP a plan) and processed just 10% ( not 30%) of the 2.5m market at 25 GBP a go, with an 80% margin, then the company would still generate 5million GBP a year of gross profit.

To put the 5 million into a context, in the year to 01-2023, SPA plc hopes to generate total gross profits of 15m GBP a year, so any movement towards getting an additional 5m GBP gross profit from Traffic Management would be very positive and this could be just the beginning. In her own words, the CEO says that “ contractors and utilities are crying out for a solution like this” and she “doesn’t think it will take long to get to 20-25% of the TMPA market” and that they are “strongly excited about the opportunity”.

In short, they are confident they could get to a 30% share over the next 3 years- if it works of course... Do the math as they say!

OK I’ll do it!

The Blue Sky scenario with the TMPA product would be to achieve a 30% market share at 100 GBP a time with 80% margins by year end 31.01.26 (FY26).

What would that look like? If SPA achieved 10% in FY24, 20% in FY25 and reached full 30% by FY26, very roughly speaking and with all other factors held constant, we would be talking about gross income as follows;
The table below hasn't cut and pasted well but the titles are;


- Year End;
- Additional Gross contribution GBP (millions)
-Projected Gross Margins
-Total gross profit
-Estimated EPS
-Margins at 8%( i.e. modest)
-With 111m shares in issue Projected share price at PER 15
-% Upside from Upside from the current share price of 50p

31.01.24 10% x 2.5m x100 GBP x 80% 20m 16m as per broker 36m 4.1p 62p +24%
31.01.25 20% x 2.5m x100 GBP x 80% 40m 17m ? 57m 6.1p 91p +82%
31.01.26 30% x 2.5m x100 GBP x 80% 60m 18m ? 88m 8.2p 123p +146%

The above scenario is obviously very much a “back of an envelope” type projection, but it is based on reasonable assumptions regarding margins, growth and possible valuations and makes no reference to the NG911 opportunity, which is potentially bigger and only plugs in modest growth across the remaining business ex TMPA.

The upside is potentially transformational and the bottom line here is that if absolutely nothing comes of the TMPA opportunity, the business still looks set to grow nicely elsewhere.

Can they do it? They think so and have been trialling TMPA with one major roadworks contractor since October 22, so things are on the move.

They are first to market with a TMPA and it could be seen very well by all parties.

Potentially this is deliverable in a relatively hands-off, high-margin way.

No-one else is doing this because no-one else has the technical capability and the data sets to attempt it. The opportunity is there in front of them and one imagines that contractors in the infrastructure space could be interested in paying for something that saves them money.

It could be that TMPA or variants could be applicable in other parts of the World where SPA has a presence e.g. Ireland
