UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Competition and Markets Authority procured services covering company funding, business exits and economic outcomes. The requirement combines a fixed-term subscription with a custom data export, providing access to company and economic data for the Authority’s work. The service is delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as subscription services and is intended for a specialist information, research or data provider able to supply recurring access to relevant datasets together with tailored extraction or export services. The buyer is a central government public authority based in London. The requirement concerns information provision rather than construction, physical goods, consultancy delivery or operational works, making it most relevant to data publishers, commercial intelligence businesses and research providers with suitable company and economic datasets.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. BUSINESS FUNDING RESEARCH LTD was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 3 July 2026. The contract runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 July 2027. Its value is £45,000 excluding VAT and £54,000 including VAT. The requirement was managed as one completed lot. The award covers subscription services associated with the fixed-term subscription and custom data export. The published outcome shows an active award and an active contract. Evaluation was therefore based on a direct award route rather than a competitive tender, so this procurement does not provide a comparison of competing bids or published scoring criteria.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Competition and Markets Authority for specialist company intelligence covering funding, exits and economic outcomes, supplied through a subscription and supported by tailored data exports. Businesses well placed for a future requirement would need authoritative, structured and regularly maintained datasets, with coverage relevant to company finance, investment activity, business exits and wider economic performance. They would also need to provide dependable subscription access and respond to bespoke export or extraction requirements. Credibility would come from demonstrating data quality, clear definitions, reliable delivery, usable formats and the capacity to support a central government customer throughout a fixed-term service. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that specialist data businesses can serve this type of requirement without the scale of a large technology or professional-services group.
