UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Pensions Regulator procured company information and financial data, including a UK and international company research tool. The requirement covers corporate group structures, directors and their other associations, key financials and financial history, including dividend payments where relevant, debt and asset metrics, turnover and trend analysis. The product is classified as a financial analysis and accounting software package. It is a goods procurement for use by The Pensions Regulator. The named supplier is Moody’s Analytics UK Ltd, a large commercial data and analytics provider. The service supports company research and financial assessment through access to structured corporate and financial information, rather than the delivery of physical goods or works. The requirement relates to one completed lot.

The procurement has been awarded through a direct award. The stated rationale was that the service offers unique functionality and data feeding into developed tools, and changing supplier would create disproportionate technical difficulties. The award was made to Moody’s Analytics UK Ltd on 25 June 2026 for £103,761 excluding VAT, or £124,513.20 including VAT. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 31 October 2026 to 30 October 2027. The award is above the relevant threshold. The completed process has one lot. A further active award record names Moody’s Analytics UK Ltd for the same requirement, but gives no separate value or award date. Evaluation was therefore based on the direct-award justification and the supplier’s unique functionality and data.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a central government regulator for dependable corporate and financial intelligence covering both UK and international companies. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this type would need broad, structured company data, reliable group-structure information, director and association records, financial statements and history, and coverage of debt, assets, turnover, trends and relevant dividend payments. They would also need software that supports company research and feeds effectively into established regulatory tools. Credibility would depend on the depth, uniqueness and quality of the underlying datasets, as well as technical compatibility and continuity of service. The buyer’s direct-award rationale shows that an alternative provider would need to demonstrate comparable functionality and data while avoiding disproportionate technical disruption.
