Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "ICS Credit Reporting Tool & Due Diligence Tool" was conducted by ICS on behalf of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). This award pertains to the services industry, specifically a compliance software package, and was handled under a selective procurement method as a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework. The contract, valued at £25,790, covers multiple regions, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the United Kingdom, reflecting a broad operational scope. The procurement process reached the award stage with the contract period starting on 3rd April 2025 and concluding on 2nd April 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large-scale businesses, particularly those offering specialised compliance software solutions. The involvement of established frameworks like G-Cloud 14 implies a streamlined procurement avenue suitable for companies able to meet framework requirements. While SMEs were considered suitable for this tender, it was ultimately awarded to Credit Safe, a large company, indicating strong competition among larger entities within the software solutions sector. Businesses focusing on due diligence tools and credit reporting tools, especially those seeking to extend their services across the aforementioned regions, would find involvement in similar tenders beneficial for growth and expansion.
