Data Description
Several different organisation types which either did not warrant their own dedicated file at the point of creation, or did not easily fit within an existing file.
- Local Service Providers(LSP)
- Local Service Providers(LSP) Sites
- Application Service Providers
- Application Service Providers - Legacy Primary Role/Organisation Type (no longer used)
- National Application Service Providers (NASP)
How Data is Maintained
The ODS team check the Government website of the Office for Public Sector Information (OPSI) on an ad-hoc basis and implement any changes required. Information on minor changes, is relayed to ODS via the organisations in question. Where possible, this is facilitated by an established ODS contact based within the organisation (referred to as an OC1). No changes to the records associated to an organisation can be carried out without the express permission of the contact for that organisation, although exceptions can occur such as where a contact is no longer working at an organisation, or changes have been agreed with an NHS England national programme (i.e. COVID vaccination programme).
Where organisation details are not published by OPSI, ODS may accept requests for new codes direct from the provider. A business justification as to why an ODS code is required is sought from the provider and their status/function as an Application Service Provider is confirmed.
