Pan-government agreement (PGA)

Join the PGA

The Pan-government agreement (PGA) is managed on behalf of central government by the Intra-Governmental Group on Geographical Information (IGGI). In general terms, membership of the agreement is open to organisations that employ civil servants.

The range of potentially eligible organisations is broad and includes crown and non-crown bodies, government departments, executive agencies and sponsored bodies.

Currently it does not include National Health Service (NHS) organisations. NHS organisations in this case include strategic health authorities, unit trusts, primary care trusts and ambulance trusts.

Do you think you are eligible?

Please visit the PGA section of the IGGI website and complete the IGGI/PGA application form.

If you are not eligible …

You may still qualify for access to digital map data as a result of the work you do for government. If this is the case you should also visit the PGA section of the IGGI website and complete the IGGI/PGA application form.

All applications will be assessed by representatives from IGGI, the Association of Geographic Information (AGI) and Ordnance Survey. If you are found to be eligible we will send you a password and log-in for the privileged pages for central government.
