Summary of the contracting process

UK Export Finance (UKEF) has concluded the procurement process for a "2nd Screening Platform" under the classification of subscription services. The primary mission of UKEF's Financial Crime Due Diligence Division (FCDD) is to assist business and risk owners in understanding financial crime risks to avoid supporting non-viable transactions. UKEF required a screening solution specializing in negative news/adverse media data related to regulatory, financial, and criminal activities, aimed at mitigating potential risks and meeting UKEF's financial crime policy requirements. The procurement method was an open procedure, and the contract was awarded to LexisNexis Risk Solutions UK Limited for a value of £213,500, with the contract signed on 24 February 2025. The contract covers services to be delivered in the UK with detailed electronic submission requirements specified in the tender documents.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specializing in financial crime compliance, risk management, and data analytics. Companies with robust solutions capable of mitigating financial risks and complying with government policies are well-suited to compete. This process encourages large, well-established firms like LexisNexis Risk Solutions UK Limited but also offers opportunities for smaller, innovative firms with advanced capabilities in negative news screening and monitoring. Businesses that can provide comprehensive tools for identifying risk indicators in financial transactions will find substantial opportunities in engaging with UKEF's ongoing and future needs.
