Addressing Multi-Contractor Agreement – Public Sector (AMCAPS)

Central and local government customers can supply contractors working on their behalf with copies of the Addressing Datasets they hold.  This is permitted under the terms of the Public Sector Mapping Agreement (PSMA) and the One Scotland Mapping Agreement (OSMA).

Contractors only have the right to hold and use data for the duration of the specific contract they have been employed by the licensee to deliver.  Each licensee has traditionally supplied their contractor with Addressing Datasets separately.  The contractor then has to manage each set of data separately and use it solely to deliver the contract for which it was supplied. 

This can be very inefficient for the contractor, especially where the company is managing a number of contracts over a number of different divisions or different offices, each with separate holdings and versions of Ordnance Survey data. It is difficult and expensive to maintain an integrated approach to data management in such circumstances.

The AMCAPS provides direct data national coverage supply and maintenance from Ordnance Survey to qualifying contractors.  It removes the requirement for separate management of multiple data supplies of differing currency from different licensees.

Under AMCAPS the Contractor is required to pay Royal Mail fees for each PSMA and OSMA member to whom it supplies Addressing Datasets.

To find out more, please contact your Account Manager, if you have one, or our Customer Service Centre, quoting 'Addressing Multi-Contractor Agreement – Public Sector'.
