UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology, located in London, has engaged in a procurement process titled "UK5 International Company Data" under the public authority central government classification. The procurement involves securing data on private and public companies, including investment data, for use within the department and to contribute to broader policy developments. Initially begun as a tender process and completed through a direct award, the procurement saw a final contract period from 2 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. However, due to certain publication errors related to the notices, parts of the process had to be rectified concerning the legal frameworks under which they were originally published.

This procurement presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses providing critical company data services. S&P Global, the awarded supplier, was identified as the sole supplier capable of meeting all key requirements following a longlist and shortlist evaluation on the G-Cloud framework. Enterprises that specialise in data supply services, particularly those with capabilities to deliver comprehensive international company and investment data, are well-positioned to engage with such procurement opportunities. The direct award process reflects the emphasis on technical competence and specialised service offerings that satisfy complex data needs within government departments.
