Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology has completed a procurement process titled "Business Intelligence Data 2026" with a focus on goods within the industry category of Business Intelligence Software. This central government public authority, located in London, aims to access specialised business intelligence data. The procurement was executed via a direct award method on technical grounds, with the contract completed from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2026. The award, valued at £174,225 with a gross amount of £209,070, was signed on 29th December 2025, establishing Moody's Analytics UK Limited as the supplier. This procurement facilitates business growth by providing access to a high specificity internet-hosted library service featuring national and international company data.

This tender represents specific opportunities for businesses with capabilities in providing business intelligence data packages, particularly those able to supply in the absence of broader competition due to technical exclusivity. The procurement's tailored nature means only specific suppliers like Moody's Analytics UK Limited meet DSIT's stringent criteria regarding detailed ownership data and historical financial records. Suppliers demonstrating unmatched granular and historical insights will find this contract particularly rewarding, though competition is limited by technical specifications. Businesses that specialise in similar services and possess comparable expertise can potentially leverage this precedent for entering niche markets where such exclusive data capabilities are paramount.
