Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) bought a one-year Feedly subscription for market intelligence. Feedly is software for monitoring and gathering information to support market intelligence work; the procurement is categorised as software supply. Dstl is based at Porton Down, Salisbury, and the subscription is for use in the United Kingdom. Feedly, Inc., a US-based supplier, was selected to provide the subscription.

The procurement is complete and the award to Feedly, Inc. is active. Dstl used a direct, single-tender action below the applicable threshold. The award was made on 23 September 2026 for £23,739.66. The subscription contract runs from 25 October 2026 to 24 October 2027. The tender response deadline was 22 September 2026. The procurement was treated as a goods purchase. No lots are recorded, and the stated evaluation basis is not available in the published procurement details.

For suppliers tracking future requirements from Dstl, this award is evidence of demand for a commercial market-intelligence subscription rather than a bespoke software development project. A credible competitor would need to provide a dependable platform for monitoring and gathering market information, with a subscription model suitable for organisational use. Feedly, Inc. was selected through a single-tender action, so this outcome does not establish a competitive evaluation benchmark or reveal what capabilities distinguished the supplier. The scale demonstrated is a one-year subscription, making suppliers with an established product and the ability to support ongoing access more directly relevant than firms focused on one-off consultancy or custom-built systems. The purchase concerns market intelligence specifically; suppliers should be able to show how their platform serves that function for a defence science and technology organisation.
