England, Scotland and Wales unite for ultimate postcode power! A fresh 5-year deal now gives public sector bodies across the UK seamless access to the Royal Mail’s most up-to-date address database.
New 5-Year Royal Mail Contract Secures Vital Address Data
The agreement runs until 31 March 2028, providing free-at-point-of-use access to the Royal Mail Postcode Address File (PAF) for public services. This vital resource supports government, emergency services, health, and rescue organisations with accurate location info.
One Contract to Rule All UK Address Data
For the first time, England, Wales, and Scotland are combined under a single contract. This replaces separate deals, allowing public sector bodies to tap into 1.8 million postcodes and over 30 million business and residential addresses across Great Britain.
New Extras: Not Yet Built & Multiple Residence Data
- Not Yet Built data helps pinpoint addresses still in planning or construction – a game-changer for timely public service delivery.
- Multiple Residence data identifies individual homes within buildings sharing a front door, sorting out tricky multiple occupancy addresses.
This unified, upgraded deal means public sector services can now operate with sharper, smarter location data than ever before.
