Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured a cloud-based company information data platform to provide business insight and intelligence in support of economic growth. The requirement is for a cloud software service, including the supply of business data, delivered for the council in Derby. The platform is intended to help the council access and use company information for economic insight. The published scope identifies the platform and its purpose but does not break the service down into particular datasets, user numbers or technical features. The procurement was run through the G-Cloud 14 framework, in its cloud software category. The awarded supplier, Business Funding Research Ltd trading as Beauhurst, is a small business, showing that this type of data platform requirement can be met by an SME.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Business Funding Research Ltd, trading as Beauhurst. The award date was 29 September 2026. The recorded award value is £0, so the published figure does not state a payable contract price. The initial contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 30 September 2027. The council may extend the contract by up to two further 12-month periods, subject to budget and business need, with a maximum end date of 30 September 2029. This was a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, rather than a standalone open competition. The stated framework category was cloud software. The procurement records SME suitability and says the service supports economic growth; no detailed evaluation criteria or additional participation requirements are reported.

This award demonstrates demand from Derby City Council for a cloud-hosted company information platform that turns business data into insight for economic growth work. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to offer a usable company-data service and demonstrate how its information supports economic intelligence and growth activity. The selected supplier was an SME, so the requirement was deliverable by a smaller specialist provider rather than being inherently limited to large technology firms. Suppliers should be prepared to compete through a framework call-off route, with a cloud software offer aligned to the relevant framework category. The service is specific to company information and business insight; firms offering unrelated cloud hosting or general consultancy alone would be less well matched unless they can also provide the required data platform capability.
