UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Export Finance procured professional services to support its use of the Arbutus data analytics tool. The requirement covers specialist assistance with using the organisation’s data analytics capability, classified under internal audit services. It is a services contract for work delivered in the United Kingdom, for a central government public authority based in London. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate service packages. This opportunity is relevant to businesses providing Arbutus support, data analytics consultancy, analytics-enabled internal audit services, or related professional services for government organisations. Suppliers would need to understand the practical use of Arbutus and be able to provide advisory or hands-on support for UKEF’s analytics activities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award was made to TECHNOLOGY4BUSINESS LTD on 22 June 2026. The active contract runs from 22 June 2026 to 15 June 2028, with an option for one 12-month extension to a maximum end date of 15 June 2029. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT, or £36,000 including VAT. One supplier was selected for the single lot, covering the Arbutus data analytics support requirement. The contract is active and the procurement was below the relevant threshold. The published outcome identifies services as the procurement category and internal audit services as the classification.

This award demonstrates that UK Export Finance buys focused, specialist support for the Arbutus data analytics tool rather than a broad technology implementation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical Arbutus expertise, the ability to provide professional services directly to a central government buyer, and experience supporting analytics activities linked to internal audit or assurance. The scale indicates a compact specialist engagement suited to an SME or a focused consultancy team, rather than a large systems integrator. Suppliers should be able to work with an established government analytics environment, understand internal audit use cases, and provide reliable advisory or hands-on technical support within a defined service engagement.
