UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology renewed access to The Quantum Insider, a market-intelligence platform for the quantum sector. The service provides data to support the Office for Quantum’s policy work, including regular investment reporting and monitoring foreign government activity in the sector. This is a research and market-intelligence service for organisations seeking to supply sector-specific data and platform access. The buying organisation is a central government department based in London; the data supports policy work for the Office for Quantum. The procurement is for services, specifically market research services (CPV 79310000).

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The department used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Resonance Alliance was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 9 September 2026 to 8 October 2027. Its value is USD 60,000 excluding tax, or USD 72,000 including tax. The procurement was a single lot, awarded as one contract. The stated purpose is renewal of the quantum-sector intelligence platform, with data used for investment reporting and tracking foreign government activity. No award evaluation criteria are set out in the published process details.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology for continuing access to specialist quantum-sector market intelligence. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a useful, dependable platform and data that can support government policy analysis, regular investment reporting and monitoring of foreign government activity in the quantum sector. Relevant strengths include coverage of the quantum market, the ability to track investment and international activity, and presenting information in a form suitable for ongoing reporting and policy use. The award was made directly without competition, so the published outcome does not establish a competitive evaluation model or specific technical credentials. The supplier selected was an SME, showing that a smaller specialist provider has delivered this requirement.
