Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade has completed a procurement process for the "Moodys (Orbis) Platform" to facilitate Crossborder Investment and Mergers & Acquisitions. The contracting process, categorised under the goods industry, utilised a direct procurement method without competition, as it was below the threshold. This process, located in London, falls under the central government public authority. The contract was awarded to Moody's Analytics UK Limited with a start date of 28th June 2025 and an end date of 27th June 2026.
