Ordnance Survey

Background

Ordnance Survey is Great Britain’s National Mapping Service, responsible for producing and maintaining some of the most detailed and frequently updated geographic information in the world.

The Requirement

To support this mission, OS requires accurate, timely intelligence about changes to the built environment.

The Solution

Glenigan was selected under a four-year contract to deliver a Change Intelligence Managed Service, supporting OS with early insight into construction activity across the UK.

Glenigan provides a Change Intelligence Managed Service to streamline OS’s data analysis processes, enabling production teams to capture changes more efficiently. This relationship enables OS to provide more accurate, timely, and high-quality location data to its public and private sector customers.

Operational Accreditation

Following consistent performance and ongoing improvement, Ordnance Survey awarded Glenigan with operational accreditation — formally recognising the quality and reliability of its data and processes.

OS has recently awarded Glenigan with operational accreditation.

How OS Uses Glenigan Data 

OS utilises Glenigan data to provide updates at key development stages which in turn efficiently creates demand for production teams to plan and capture changes to the built environment. Glenigan is proactive in the relationship and has consistently demonstrated quality, efficient processes to extract and supply timely changes to OS specification. Continuous improvement has been evident, and this has enabled OS to analyse the data more effectively month on month.

The Result

Through this partnership, Ordnance Survey benefits from improved change detection, more efficient production planning, and enhanced data analysis over time. For Glenigan, operational accreditation provides formal, third-party validation of its data quality and reinforces its position as one of the most trusted construction intelligence providers in the UK.
