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.
