Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business and Trade has concluded a procurement process titled "Global Business Data for DDaT" within the database and operating software package industry category. The procurement is based in London, United Kingdom. This process, now in the award stage, started with a call-off from a framework agreement using a selective method. The tender period concluded on 18th November 2025, with the contract period beginning on 19th November 2025 and ending on 27th November 2027. The initiative aims to procure access to global business data to support departmental objectives for Digital, Data, and Technology (DDaT), as indicated by the award to Dun & Bradstreet Ltd for £918,469.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in database and software services, particularly those that can offer comprehensive business data solutions to governmental departments. While the awarding of this contract highlights opportunities for large-scale suppliers like Dun & Bradstreet Ltd, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in niche data services or innovative technology solutions could find opportunities for partnership or subcontracting within the framework agreements used by the Department for Business and Trade. Companies that can demonstrate strong data management capabilities and compliance with public sector standards will be well-suited to pursue similar procurement opportunities to further their business growth.
