I am today announcing that performance targets have been agreed for Ordnance Survey for the period 2014-15. Ordnance Survey will report externally against these targets as is required of all Executive agencies in Government. The targets are:

To achieve earnings before interest, depreciation and amortisation of £45.8 million for the financial year 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2015.

To achieve a customer index score of at least 80%.

Some 99.6% of significant real-world features greater than six months old are represented in the database.

These targets reflect Ordnance Survey’s continuing commitment to its customers. The simplified agency performance monitors are key drivers in allowing Ordnance Survey to provide an exemplar commitment to Government policies, while improving value for money for the taxpayer.
