Ordnance Survey signs new agreement with Network Rail Ordnance Survey, Great Britain's mapping agency, has entered into a new three-year agreement with Network Rail, worth £2.6 million, for the supply of a range of data products, including OS MasterMap Topography, Address and Imagery Layers.
Ordnance Survey's relationship with Network Rail, the company that owns and maintains Britain's rail infrastructure, dates back to 1999, when geographical information systems (GIS) were recognised as a key component of the company's IS strategy. Network Rail's corporate system, the 'GI Portal', now provides a valuable central resource available across the business.
In addition to its internal operations, Network Rail supplies the Ordnance Survey data to contractors to support a wide range of projects, including renewals and maintenance. Currently, some 655 projects have been supplied, which highlights the growing importance of geographic information to the rail industry.
Ordnance Survey is reinforcing the relationship by also providing expertise and technical advice to Network Rail in the design and implementation of a detailed track level model of the rail network.
Peter Dickens, Senior Account Manager for Network Rail at Ordnance Survey, says: "I am truly delighted that the new agreement means Ordnance Survey can continue to work closely with Network Rail. We have always had an excellent relationship and I expect that this new three-year deal will see this continue and develop further. Ordnance Survey is now firmly positioned at the heart of the railway industry and the data we provide really adds value to the industry. This is a real success story, demonstrating yet again that the use of geographic information can deliver real business benefits."
