Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Mastdata - Specialist Reports" was conducted by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), headquartered at Polaris House, Swindon, England. This procurement falls under the industry category of "Research and development services and related consultancy services" (CPV 73000000) and covers a broad geographic scope, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The process concluded at the award stage, where the contract was awarded to Mast Data Ltd on 12th August 2025, with the contract period spanning from 20th August 2025 to 19th August 2026. The tender succeeded through a direct procurement method due to its specialised nature, identified as a single tender action below the threshold.

This tender offers a targeted opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with niche expertise in geospatial data and research services. Given the specific and uncommon requirements that are unlikely to be met by general market participants or consolidated with other contracts, businesses that specialise in specialised research and consultancy stand to gain substantially. The procurement process, being a direct approach tailored to a single supplier, underscores the exclusivity and uniqueness of the service specifications, making it particularly suitable for enterprises with specialised capabilities in delivering bespoke geospatial data services.

Notice Title

Mastdata - Specialist Reports

Notice Description

Specialist geospatial data - These are very niche and specific requirements that other suppliers are unlikely to be able to fulfil. We are not aware of any other arrangements in place across DSIT, or ICS space and it's unlikely that these requirements could be consolidated in a single contract with others.
