Unlike many other VAR's, we do not sell packaged software solutions which restrict access to PAF® by using proprietary data compression and encryption techniques.

We maintain a monthly updated enhanced version of PAF® and can provide data outputs in most common formats for easy integration with database management systems and office applications. Most clients take our postcode datasets in industry standard CSV format on CD.

Outputs are available by area, postcode range, locality name etc and can be pre-formatted to meet your own specific system requirements including:

• Street/postcode level dataset and flat file (ideal for many rapid addressing applications)

• GIS Table relating unit postcode to 100m OS grid references

• Locality, Town and Street gazetteers

• NEW - Sector/Town Spreadsheet, all valid postcode sector/town combinations with Counties & counts.

• Postcode validation tables

• Delivery point counts

• Postcode related data such as administrative area County, District and Ward codes

• Postcode reallocation tables

• Deleted postcode verification tables

• Formatted address extracts (see FAQ's) including mailing labels and area listings

From a relational database of all 27 million UK delivery points, to an extract of formatted addresses within a specific postal area, or a table of all valid postcode sectors and localities - BPH Postcodes can deliver the data.

Royal Mail Licensing

Use of PAF® based data is governed by Royal Mail Licence terms and conditions. All clients are required to hold a Royal Mail Licence with fees paid annually in advance according to the level of postcode data utilised and the number of end-users with access.
