Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of Experian licences was conducted by the Department for Business & Trade, based in London, United Kingdom. The tender, categorised under data services, involved a direct procurement method and was carried out without competition, falling below the threshold for open tenders. This process has reached the award stage, with a contract actively in place from 27th March 2026 to 31st March 2027, valued at £14,950 net, settling on Experian Limited as the supplier.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in data services, particularly those capable of providing and managing data licences. The direct award strategy implemented does limit competition; however, the sector in focus provides potential growth opportunities for businesses that can offer similar services to public authorities, especially those with capabilities in managing and processing large data sets. Companies that can demonstrate strong credentials and effective solutions in data services will be well-positioned to tap into similar future opportunities with government departments.
