Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport, a central government public authority located in London, conducted a procurement process titled "DfT Events Data - Licence Agreement." The procurement aimed to facilitate the acquisition of data services to understand and analyse event occurrences in England over a specified period. This process, which was marked complete on the 21st of July 2025, involved a direct procurement method below the threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The procurement fell under the services category, specifically database and operating software development services, with the awarded contract starting on the 21st of July 2025 and ending on the 9th of April 2026.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in data services and software development. Given the nature of the procurement process - direct and without competition due to its below-threshold status - small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like PredictHQ Limited, which successfully secured the contract, are particularly well-suited to explore similar opportunities. For businesses seeking to grow in the public sector, focusing on niche and specialised service offerings can enhance competitiveness in similar procurement opportunities.
