Summary of the contracting process

UK Export Finance (UKEF) has completed a procurement process titled "S&P Scorecards" under the industry category of subscription services. This process reached the award stage on 14 November 2024. The procurement was conducted through a limited procedure without prior publication due to the proprietary nature of S&P Scorecards, which support UKEF's credit risk assessments. The contract, worth £384,600 and awarded on 4 November 2024, is located in London, UK. S&P Global Market Intelligence has been selected as the supplier, reflecting their unique qualifications to meet the specified technical requirements.

This tender represents a key opportunity for businesses with existing proprietary products or unique intellectual properties, particularly in the financial and subscription services sectors, to engage in high-value contracts with government bodies. Companies offering specialized products that integrate seamlessly with existing systems or provide exclusive advantages are well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. Additionally, the integration of proprietary products like the S&P Scorecards into UKEF's operations highlights the potential for long-term, strategic partnerships with national authorities.
