UK Public Sector

Ideal for UK public sector

In rapidly changing times, the UK public sector faces many new challenges. Digital transformation has been widely recognised as a key to increase operational efficiency, drive innovation and achieve better outcomes. Organisations can use location intelligence at every stage of their digital transformation, to uncover hidden insights in their data assets.

viaEuropa is ideal for UK public sector organisations who wish to optimise their data entitlement under the Public Sector Geospatial Agreement (PSGA), Aerial Photography Great Britain (APGB) agreement, or Northern Ireland Mapping Agreement (NIMA). With no throttling or blocking, the service provides a flexible and reliable platform on which to build both internal and citizen-facing applications.

Available on G-Cloud

G-Cloud is a procurement framework accessed through the UK Government’s Digital Marketplace and operated by the Crown Commercial Service. It allows UK-based public sector organisations to buy cloud-based services faster and cheaper than would be possible by entering into individual procurement contracts. A range of viaEuropa services are available on the latest iteration of the framework, G-Cloud 13.
