Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "C0104 GBG Investigate" was conducted by The National Lottery Community Fund, based in Birmingham, England. This procurement falls under the industry category of "Software package and information systems" and covers the United Kingdom. The process is at the award stage, with the contract awarded to GB GROUP PLC as of 31 March 2025, effective from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2028. Conducted as a selective tender through a call-off from a framework agreement, the procurement phase concluded with the tender period ending on 31 March 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in Data as a Service and software solutions, especially those capable of providing comprehensive data insights linking people, places, and businesses. However, it is more suited to larger organisations, as indicated by the procurement's suitability criteria, with no specific advantages for SMEs or VCSEs. Companies like GB GROUP PLC, who specialise in large-scale software and information systems, are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts, potentially leveraging these opportunities to further expand their influence within the UK market.
