Liverpool Direct, the joint venture company formed by Liverpool City Council and BT, is one of the first customers to sign up for Contractor Portal, the web application for local government organisations that simplifies the distribution of Ordnanace Survey and other datasets to their contractors.

Brian Jones, Geodata Team Manager at Liverpool Direct, said: “Whenever a contractor has to use Ordnance Survey mapping they need to apply for a licence. That requires the contracting body to source and exchange the data and manage the licence application.

“Contractor Portal completely automates that process as it enables the contractor to self-serve.

“We anticipate considerable efficiency savings being generated from this avoidance of contact with contractors. The lighter touch minimises the amount of resource required from my team, freeing us up to do a lot more of our business critical, internally driven GIS work.

“On top of that we will be supplying a much more reliable service that can turn round requests a lot more quickly than before.”

We’re delighted to announce the launch of Contractor Portal, a web application for local government organisations that simplifies the distribution of Ordnance Survey and other spatial datasets to their contractors.

Local authorities carry a significant workload when distributing datasets including preparation and completion of paperwork, selection and processing of datasets, timely distribution of the completed data cutouts and compliance with strict licensing terms.

Contractor Portal provides an automated, audited workflow that streamlines the entire licensing and ordering process. It enables contractors to access data on a self-service basis and allows authorities to manage their data distribution through a real-time console.
