Summary of the contracting process

The HM Treasury is seeking to fulfil a requirement for online access to the Financial Times through a licence-based service, as outlined in the tender titled "HMT Treasury Online Financial Times Requirement." This contract, which falls under the industry category of subscription services, has a total value of £285,471 and is classified as a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold. The contract duration commenced on 2 June 2021 and extends to 1 June 2023, with the tender period officially concluding on 1 June 2021. Delivery addresses span across various regions in the United Kingdom, including London, the North West, and Wales.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in subscription services, particularly those focused on digital content or licensing solutions. Suitable competitors may include larger enterprises capable of providing extensive access to online databases or publications, as the contract specifically does not favour small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Firms that can ensure robust service delivery and compliance with licensing requirements will be well-positioned to explore such contracts and enhance their business prospects.
