Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Growth Company Limited procured subscription licences for LinkedIn Sales Navigator, an online business intelligence and relationship-management service. The requirement covered renewing 20 existing licences and adding 12 further licences, providing 32 user licences in total for use in the West Midlands. The service provides contact details for key employers, news and added-value information about target businesses, and tools to support interaction with existing businesses and investors. The work is classed as IT services, including internet and support services. The buyer is West Midlands Growth Company Limited, based in Birmingham, and the service supports activity across the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, with one completed lot. The award was made on 19 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 19 July 2026 to 18 July 2027. Its value is £39,093.60 excluding VAT, or £46,912.32 including VAT. The selected supplier is a large organisation based in Dublin. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the award covers the renewal and additional licence subscriptions for the buyer’s business intelligence and engagement activity.

This procurement demonstrates demand from West Midlands Growth Company for a substantial business intelligence and relationship-management subscription supporting employer engagement, investor relations and target-business monitoring. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a mature online platform, reliable access to employer and business contact data, and regularly updated company news or commercial intelligence. It would also need to support multiple users through a sizeable licence arrangement, with functionality that helps teams interact with existing businesses and investors. Relevant suppliers are likely to be established technology or information-service providers able to deliver internet-based software, user support, data quality and dependable access at organisational scale.
