Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by the DESNZ & DSIT Group Commercial for a subscription service, classified under CPV code 79980000, which pertains to subscription services. This contract, involving essential subscription services required by the teams, was conducted using a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and falls outside the scope of the directive. Located within the UK, the buyer is based in London. The procurement reached the award stage, and the contract was signed on 1st October 2025. The awarded value was £19,000, with Beauhurst being the successful supplier.

This tender presents opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) offering subscription services. The nature of the procurement, a subscription renewal, suits businesses with existing expertise in this domain who can provide competitive offerings even within a limited bid procedure. Being selected through a non-competitive process, this tender allows suppliers to deepen government sector engagements and potentially secure future collaborations within the public procurement landscape, especially for those positioned in or around the UK.
