Summary of the contracting process

BORDER TO COAST PENSIONS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED, operating from Leeds, United Kingdom, entered into a market data license agreement with S&P Global Limited. The procurement falls under the public authority category and is related to goods in the database systems industry. The process, which follows a direct procurement method below the competition threshold, has reached the award stage as of 24 March 2026 and is set to commence from 27 March 2026 until 26 March 2027. The procurement focuses on securing licensing for market data, specifically credit ratings for Aladdin (EIDP), and the total gross value of the contract is £155,127. The contract was signed on 24 March 2026.

This tender provides significant growth opportunities for large-scale suppliers specialising in database systems and market data analytics.

Businesses with the capability to offer detailed and robust market data solutions stand well-positioned to explore similar future contracts. Given the ongoing nature of procurement for essential services within the financial sector, entities focusing on expanding their reach in data provision and licensing agreements will find lucrative opportunities to bolster their business presence and enhance their portfolio through collaborative engagements.
