UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade procured licences providing access to S&P PMI Survey Data. This is a data service supporting access to Purchasing Managers’ Index survey information and market intelligence. The requirement is for the department’s use in its central government business and trade work. The supplier is S&P Global Limited, a large UK-based data and market intelligence provider. The contracting activity is associated with the department in London, while the supplied service is digital access to licensed survey data rather than physical goods, construction or an on-site service. Businesses relevant to this requirement include providers of economic, commercial or market intelligence datasets, survey-based indicators, data platforms and associated licensing arrangements. The procurement concerns access to a defined proprietary data product rather than the commissioning of a new research programme or bespoke data collection exercise.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to S&P Global Limited. The Department for Business & Trade used a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026 and runs from 2 July 2026 to 24 March 2027. Its value is £60,637.50 excluding VAT, or £72,765 including VAT. The award is for services and relates to the single requirement for S&P PMI Survey Data. The award is active and the contract is active. This outcome indicates that the buyer obtained the required data through a non-competitive below-threshold route, rather than inviting competing bids. The selected supplier is S&P Global Limited. No separate lot awards or alternative suppliers are recorded for this procurement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Department for Business & Trade for licensed access to established PMI survey data and related market intelligence. Suppliers best placed for a comparable requirement would have ownership of, or authorised distribution rights for, a recognised survey dataset; a reliable platform for controlled user access; and commercial licensing arrangements suitable for a central government customer. Credibility would also depend on the dataset being sufficiently established and consistent to support business and trade analysis, with clear rights to use and access it. Relevant competitors include economic data publishers, market intelligence firms, survey-data owners, and specialist resellers with the necessary licensing authority. The use of a direct award to S&P Global Limited shows the importance of a distinctive, proprietary data product rather than general consultancy or bespoke research alone.
