As a result of our annual price review BGS will apply, in most cases, a 3 percent increase* to our direct licence fees for our data products from 1st April 2026. This means that any direct licence issued or renewed on or after 1 April 2026 will reflect this increased price. Existing data licensees will not be affected until such time as their licence is next due for renewal, after 1 April 2026. BGS undertakes annual price reviews and will communicate any future licence fee changes (from 2027) as appropriate.
If you have any queries regarding this matter, please contact the IPR digital team (iprdigital@bgs.ac.uk).
* Due to the specific pricing of individual datasets please note not all price changes will equate exactly to 3%.
