Summary of the contracting process

UK Export Finance, based in London, has recently completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Media Intelligence Services," classified under the CPV code 79980000 for subscription services. The contract, valued at £24,159, involved a direct procurement method through a single tender action below threshold, and the award was finalised as of 1st May 2025. This 12-month service contract with Cision Group (Gorkana) commenced on the same date, lasting until 22nd April 2026. Notably, the procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), but not for voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE), indicating an opportunity for smaller firms to engage in this service sector.

This tender presents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in media services, particularly those with expertise in media intelligence and subscription-based offerings. Companies that can provide innovative media monitoring and analytics solutions may find such procurement processes a beneficial platform to expand their client base with governmental bodies like UK Export Finance. The suitability for SMEs underscores potential advantages for smaller firms aiming to establish or strengthen their presence in the public sector, especially those located in and around London. By winning such contracts, they can enhance their portfolio and leverage the credibility accompanying government partnerships.
