The BGS is raising its data product licence fees by 5%. Pic: BGS
Any direct licence issued or renewed on or after 1 April 2024 will reflect this increased price. Existing data licensees will be affected once their licence is next due for renewal after 1 April 2024.
BGS has not increased its data product licence fees for many years and stresses that this 2024 increase considers inflationary and cost pressures the organisation faces, including increased staff costs. It follows a review of Office for National Statistics (ONS) guidance about inflation and price indices.
In the future, BGS will undertake annual price reviews and communicate any future licence fee changes (from 2025) as appropriate.
