UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "SecurityTrails Domains Feed" contract was managed by Ofcom, a public authority and sub-central government entity based in London, United Kingdom. The procurement involved the renewal of access to the SurfaceBrowser Domains Feed and the SecurityTrails API, categorised under database services in the services industry. The contract was awarded through a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition. The tender process is now complete, with the contract having been formally signed on 1st April 2026 for a period running from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The award date was recorded as 1st July 2026.

This contract presents a potential growth opportunity for businesses capable of offering niche database services. Although the procurement method used was direct and below threshold, indicating no competitive tender was sought, companies in similar fields, especially those with expertise in database and API services, may find future opportunities in similar government contracts. Large-scale service providers, similar in stature to the supplier Recorded Future UK Limited, would likely have the capability and resources to deliver on such contracts while adhering to the stringent requirements of a government contract. Such engagements can lead to enhanced credibility and expanded service portfolios for the businesses involved.
