Summary of the contracting process

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO), a central government public authority in the United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process titled "SFO-INTEL-BVDMOODYS-Database" as of November 2025. The process, now at award stage, concluded with a contract for database services awarded to Moody's Analytics UK Limited. This direct procurement, conducted without competition due to its below-threshold value, spans multiple regions across the United Kingdom and has been active since 11 August 2025, with a contract period ending on 10 August 2026. The legal foundation for this procurement is outlined in the UK Public General Act 2023/54.

This procurement offers business growth opportunities primarily for companies specialising in database services. While the contract has been awarded to a large-scale enterprise, similar tenders could present opportunities for businesses looking to enter or expand within the public sector technology market, especially those with expertise in data analytics and management. Organisations capable of delivering robust, scalable database solutions would find themselves well-positioned to compete in future procurement processes with similar requirements. The SFO’s consistent need for cutting-edge technology solutions for its operations underlines the potential for ongoing opportunities in this sector.
