UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London conducted a procurement process for an annual subscription to the Experian database for members of the Small Business Research & Enterprise Centre (SBREC) in April 2026. This procurement is categorised under subscription services and was executed using a direct procurement method without competition, as Experian Limited is the sole supplier capable of providing the required services. The contracting authority is a public authority of sub-central government level, located in the City of London. The contract, valued at £120,000, runs from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with potential for annual renewal based on satisfactory performance and value assessment.

This tender offers opportunities primarily for businesses that operate as sole suppliers of specialised services, as seen with Experian's exclusive provision of its database services. Companies that can uniquely position themselves in niche markets, offering essential or irreplaceable goods or services, would be well-suited to compete in similar direct procurement processes. By securing such contracts, businesses can ensure steady revenue streams and foster long-term relationships with public authorities, potentially leading to contract renewals and further growth opportunities within the public sector.
