UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade procured an annual subscription to S&P Capital IQ Pro, a web-based financial market intelligence platform supplied by S&P Global Limited. The service provides deep sector data, financial analytics, news and research for the department’s business and trade work. It is a software and information systems requirement (CPV 48000000), delivered for use in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is a central government department based in London. The requirement concerns access to a specialist information platform rather than bespoke software development, consultancy, construction or physical goods, so it is most relevant to providers of subscription-based financial data and intelligence services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. S&P Global Limited was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed and began on 14 September 2026, running to 1 September 2027. Its value is £27,760 excluding VAT, or £33,312 including VAT. The active award and contract cover the S&P Capital IQ Pro 2026–2027 subscription. This outcome shows that the Department for Business & Trade used a direct procurement route for the requirement, rather than an open or competitive tender. The contract period and award date define the current purchasing arrangement for this subscription.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides clear evidence of demand from the Department for Business & Trade for specialist, subscription-based financial market intelligence. A credible competitor would need to provide a reliable web-based platform with substantial sector data, financial analytics, current news and research, and be able to support government use across the United Kingdom. The requirement favours established providers with a mature information product, authoritative and regularly maintained content, dependable web access and the operational capacity to deliver an annual departmental subscription. Suppliers offering comparable financial intelligence platforms can use this buyer and requirement as a focused benchmark for future market engagement.
