UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Competition and Markets Authority bought a subscription-based research service covering the European media, entertainment, mobile telecommunications and fixed telecommunications industries. The service is intended to provide sector research and market intelligence for the authority’s work. The procurement is categorised as goods, with the associated classification covering software packages and information systems. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The selected supplier, Enders Analysis Limited, is based in Dundee and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. This opportunity is relevant to providers of specialist subscription research, industry intelligence, market analysis and information services focused on European communications and media markets. It may also suit firms supplying structured digital access to research content and sector data for a central government authority.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a direct procedure below the applicable threshold and without competition. The award was made to Enders Analysis Limited on 5 July 2026. The contract was signed on 3 July 2026 and runs from 5 July 2026 to 4 July 2028. Its value is £28,878 excluding VAT, or £34,653.60 including VAT. There was one completed lot and one active award. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contracting authority is the Competition and Markets Authority. The award is active and the contract is active, so the procurement outcome is an existing commitment rather than an unawarded market opportunity.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Competition and Markets Authority for paid, specialist intelligence on European media, entertainment and telecommunications markets. A credible future competitor would need established research capability in these sectors, regularly updated analysis, and content sufficiently authoritative to support public-sector assessment and decision-making. Relevant suppliers are likely to combine analyst expertise with a subscription platform or other reliable digital delivery method, allowing users to access research and market information efficiently. Useful strengths would include broad European market coverage, knowledge of both mobile and fixed communications, and the ability to maintain dependable information services throughout a multi-year arrangement. The selected supplier’s small-business status also indicates that this type of specialist requirement can be delivered by a focused research firm rather than only by a large technology or consultancy provider.
