Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured a company intelligence database as a data analysis service (CPV 72316000). The requirement supports activity across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The service is intended for use across the Department’s national operations and is relevant to providers of commercial company information, business intelligence databases and associated data analysis services. The buyer is the Department for Education, based in London. The selected supplier, Moody’s Analytics UK Limited, provides the type of specialist company intelligence capability required for this service.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 24 May 2026 at 5:00pm. The contract was awarded to Moody’s Analytics UK Limited on 31 May 2026 for £40,800. The contract period runs from 31 May 2026 to 30 May 2027. The award is active and the procurement is complete. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was for services. This was a single requirement rather than a lot-based procurement. The outcome shows that the Department for Education used a framework call-off route to obtain a defined company intelligence database service with nationwide English coverage.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from the Department for Education for paid access to company intelligence data and related analysis. Businesses well placed for a future requirement would offer a reliable, searchable database covering UK companies, with accurate and regularly maintained information suitable for departmental research, assessment or market analysis. Credibility would also depend on secure, dependable service delivery, clear data provenance, responsive technical support and the ability to serve users across the Department’s operations. Smaller specialist firms may be relevant, since the requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, but suppliers would need access to the relevant framework route or a route into a comparable public-sector procurement.
