UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Competition and Markets Authority procured Refinitiv Workspace financial data and research platform licences, including the Aftermarket Research add-on. The service supports the Authority’s investigations, market studies, regulatory functions and economic analysis. It provides access to financial market data, company information, market news, analytical tools and equity research. This is a financial information and research service rather than a general IT supply. The requirement covers use by the Authority across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is a central government public authority based in London, and the service is classified as a professional service involving news-agency and financial information content.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold procedure with the method recorded as unknown. It comprised one lot. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and awarded to REFINITIV LIMITED. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Its value is £88,321 excluding VAT, or £105,985.20 including VAT. The award covers the Refinitiv Workspace licences and Aftermarket Research add-on described above. The requirement was evaluated as a service procurement and the published outcome records REFINITIV LIMITED as the selected supplier. The contract period provides a defined term for the platform licences and associated research access.

This outcome shows sustained demand from the Competition and Markets Authority for specialist financial-market information, company data, news, analytical tools and equity research to support investigations and economic analysis. Suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement next returns would need a credible financial data platform, broad and reliable company and market coverage, current market news, analytical functionality and access to professional equity research. They would also need to support the practical needs of a central government regulator, including dependable licence administration and consistent access for investigative and research teams. The successful supplier was a large specialist information provider, indicating that scale, established content coverage and the ability to deliver an integrated research service are commercially relevant.
