UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade procured licences and access to the Strider Intelligence Platform, categorised as data services. The requirement is for access to a specialist intelligence platform rather than physical goods, construction or on-site delivery. The buying organisation is a UK central government department based in London. The service supports the department’s access to the platform and associated data-service capability. The awarded supplier, Strider Technologies UK Ltd, is based in Bicester, Oxfordshire. This requirement is relevant to businesses providing licensed intelligence platforms, data products or comparable subscription-based data services to central government customers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Department for Business & Trade used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Strider Technologies UK Ltd was awarded the contract on 7 July 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 7 July 2026 to 6 July 2027. Its value is £112,000 excluding VAT and £134,400 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement consisted of one completed lot covering the platform licences and access. The recorded route shows that the requirement was placed directly with the selected supplier rather than evaluated through a competitive tender.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Business & Trade for a specialist intelligence platform delivered through licences and user access. It is most relevant to suppliers with an established data product, a licensing model and the operational capacity to provide ongoing platform access to a central government department. Businesses competing for comparable future requirements would need to show that their intelligence or data service directly supports the buyer’s need for platform-based access, rather than offering general consultancy or unrelated IT services. The selected supplier is a large organisation, indicating that scale and the ability to sustain a government-facing service may be commercially important. The opportunity also shows that this buyer has used a below-threshold direct-award route for this type of service.
