Summary of the contracting process

The Intellectual Property Office, a central government public authority based in Newport, United Kingdom, has concluded a direct award contract for the supply of Mintel Databases covering the period from 7th December 2025 to 31st October 2027. The procurement method was carried out as a direct award due to the exclusive intellectual property owned by the Mintel Group Ltd, headquartered in London. The contract, valued at £150,326.00, falls within the 'goods' category, specifically focusing on database systems (CPV: 48610000). The procurement process culminated with the contract being signed on 6th December 2025, and all related processes are now complete.

This procurement provides a unique opportunity for businesses specializing in data analytics or database management solutions involving product composition data. Firms looking to expand their portfolio with exclusive content offerings, particularly large enterprises equipped to handle unique databases, would benefit from exploring similar opportunities. Due to its direct award nature, the tender was ideally suited for businesses with proprietary data or intellectual property that are not readily available elsewhere, reinforcing the importance of niche specialisation in public procurement processes.
