Summary of the contracting process

The UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO), operating from Taunton, initiated a procurement process titled "UKHO - Review of data supplier research," focusing on the 'Data services' industry. This procurement was conducted through a direct method, classified as 'Below threshold - without competition,' and involved reviewing previously supplied data with a marketing focus. Arkevista Ltd was awarded the contract, which was signed on 15th May 2025, and completed by 15th July 2025, with a total value of £26,400. Subsequently, the contract was terminated on 9th October 2025, after fulfilling its purpose.

This tender presented a significant opportunity for businesses in the data services and research industries, particularly those capable of delivering insights on data supplier performance. The process, being direct and without competition, was ideal for specialised small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Arkevista Ltd who could offer targeted expertise. Businesses aiming to engage with government central authorities or seeking to boost their profile in the governmental data services sector would have found this tender beneficial for growth and networking opportunities.
