UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ordnance Survey Limited procured a Growth Insights Tool: software and information services providing a platform to analyse UK start-ups, high-growth companies and investors. The requirement supports business intelligence and market insight rather than physical goods or construction. The buying organisation is Ordnance Survey Limited, a public undertaking based in Southampton. The tool is delivered for use in the United Kingdom. The selected provider, Business Funding Research Ltd, trading as Beauhurst, supplies the platform. This is a single requirement for a software-based research and analysis service, relevant to suppliers offering company intelligence, investor data, business research platforms or related analytical tools for public-sector users. The service is intended to give Ordnance Survey access to structured insight on emerging and fast-growing businesses and the investment environment in which they operate.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 23 June 2026 with Business Funding Research Ltd (Beauhurst). Its initial period runs from 24 June 2026 to 23 June 2027, with yearly extensions at Ordnance Survey’s discretion and a maximum end date of 23 June 2029. The stated contract value is £41,005 excluding VAT and £49,206 including VAT. The procurement was treated as a goods requirement and comprised one lot. The recorded tender value was below the applicable threshold. The contract is active, while the tender and lot are complete. Ordnance Survey selected Beauhurst as the supplier for the Growth Insights Tool through the limited competition route.

This award demonstrates demand from Ordnance Survey for a specialist business-intelligence platform focused on UK start-ups, high-growth companies and investors. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need reliable, structured and regularly maintained company and investment data, alongside software that makes the information searchable and useful for analysis. Relevant capability includes tracking emerging businesses, identifying high-growth companies, profiling investors and presenting findings through an accessible platform rather than supplying a one-off report. Suppliers should be able to support a public-sector customer with dependable service delivery across the UK and demonstrate that their product can turn business and investment data into practical growth insight. The incumbent is an SME, showing that this type of specialist platform can be delivered by a focused data and research provider.
