Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Growth Company Limited procured a commercial company-data platform with direct integration into its Zoho customer relationship management system. The service is intended to provide an automated source of company data for matching, validating and enriching CRM records. It also supports identifying and segmenting target businesses before engagement, adding commercial insight to company profiles and building a view of the regional business landscape. The buyer intends to use this information to coordinate account management and business-support activity. This is a database and business-information service, delivered for the West Midlands. The requirement brings together data supply, CRM integration and business intelligence rather than a standalone database product.

The procurement is complete: DataGardener Solutions Limited was selected, and the contract is active. The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £28,000 excluding VAT, or £33,600 including VAT. The published procurement information does not give an award date or describe how bids were evaluated, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be summarised. The awarded service is the company database with Zoho CRM integration. The contract period and value indicate a defined, time-limited service requirement rather than a large infrastructure project.

For suppliers tracking this buyer’s demand, the award shows a requirement for dependable company data that can be integrated directly into Zoho CRM and used to match, validate and enrich business records. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate automated data provision, reliable record quality and practical CRM integration, as well as commercial information that helps identify and segment regional businesses. The service must support coordinated account management and business-support work, not simply provide a searchable directory. Experience delivering company-data platforms and turning business information into useful regional insight would therefore be relevant. The selected provider is an SME, showing that a specialist supplier was able to meet this requirement through a limited competition.
