Summary of the contracting process

The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority has awarded a contract for a Business Intelligence Platform as part of its procurement process, completed on 29th July 2026. This procurement, identified by ocid "ocds-h6vhtk-06d6e3," falls under the "goods" category and was executed through a direct procurement method, specifically "below threshold - without competition." The contract, commenced on 1st July 2026 and scheduled to run until 30th June 2029, concerns a three-year agreement involving a comprehensive business intelligence software package. The procurement was carried out in Liverpool, United Kingdom, holding significant relevance to public authorities operating at the sub-central government level.

This awarded tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses, particularly those engaged in developing or supplying business intelligence software solutions. Large-scale enterprises, much like Business Funding Research Ltd—who secured the contract—can significantly benefit from engagements with public entities like the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority. Such contracts not only provide a stable revenue stream over a multi-year period but also allow companies to expand their service offerings within the public sector. Businesses capable of offering innovative business intelligence solutions and technology-driven insights will find this sector particularly lucrative given the ongoing demand for data-driven decision-making tools in governmental operations.
