Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education, a prominent central government authority located in London, has completed the procurement process titled "Dun & Bradstreet Financial Analytics 2026 (con_29040)." This contract, focusing on data services specifically regarding financial analytics, is aimed at monitoring supplier financial health. The procurement utilised a limited method under the "Below threshold - limited competition" approach, with initial stages starting well before the final award date of 21st November 2025. The service contract commences on 8th January 2026 and concludes on 7th January 2027, with a total value of £29,998.80 excluding VAT. The awarded supplier is Dun & Bradstreet Limited, also based in London.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in financial analytics, particularly those adept in data services, to establish or strengthen relationships with central government bodies such as the Department for Education. Companies capable of providing robust financial analytics and supplier monitoring would be highly suitable contenders for similar contracts in the future. The limited competition nature of the procurement suggests potential for well-positioned organisations to secure contracts without the extensive reach of more open tenders, thus enabling strategic business growth in the governmental data services sector.
