UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade commissioned detailed data on the UK automotive supply chain to support development of its Automotive Manufacturing and Technology Plan (AMTP). The work is a data service focused on the automotive manufacturing and technology sector, intended to give the department a detailed picture of supply-chain activity. The service is for the UK automotive sector, with delivery specified in the United Kingdom. The buyer is the Department for Business & Trade, a central government department. This is a single requirement rather than a set of separately described work packages, and the contracted scope centres on supplying sector data for government policy and planning.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Mobility Group c/o R.L. Polk Limited. It was a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 29 September to 4 October 2026. Its value is £43,919.10 excluding VAT, or £52,702.92 including VAT. The procurement was divided into one lot, which is complete. The award is active and the contract is active. The stated purpose was to obtain detailed supply-chain data for the department’s automotive plan; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded in the published process details.

For suppliers competing when this requirement returns to market, the award indicates demand for detailed, usable data covering the UK automotive supply chain, suitable for informing central government policy and industrial planning. A credible competitor would need access to relevant automotive-sector supply-chain information and the ability to gather, structure and deliver it in a form that supports analysis of manufacturing and technology activity. The selected provider was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that delivery was not confined to a large supplier. The procurement used a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not demonstrate a tested competitive evaluation or disclose specific technical qualifications. Suppliers with established automotive data sources and the capability to turn detailed sector information into a defined data service are the closest fit.
