Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade has concluded a procurement process under the title "Procurement in Industrial Strategy Sectors," focusing on research across sectors covered by the Industrial Strategy. Located in London, the project falls under the services category, specifically offering data services. The procurement process, which has been completed as of 20th November 2025, was conducted using a direct procurement method below the threshold, hence without competition. The contract was officially signed on 20th November 2025, with a value of £22,800 excluding VAT, and runs until 16th November 2026. The awarded supplier is Tussell Ltd, also based in London.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in data services, particularly those specialising in sectors aligned with industrial strategies. Such contracts, especially those awarded without competition, indicate a preference for trusted, established relationships within central government projects. Businesses with expertise in data-driven research or analytics, especially SMEs, would find similar opportunities promising for business expansion and establishing long-term governmental partnerships. The non-competitive nature of this tender suggests that building a robust reputation and network within government circles could be beneficial.
