UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Competition and Markets Authority is seeking a web-based subscription to a company-information database. It must cover UK, Irish and global companies and provide filed company data, financial information, ownership structures, debt and equity structures, directors and shareholders, risk insights and relevant news. The service is for the CMA’s use in accessing and reviewing information about companies. This is a data service, with delivery to the United Kingdom. The requirement is presented as a single package rather than separate lots, and the subscription is web-based.

The CMA invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for questions was 23 October 2026 at 16:00; bids were due by 11 November 2026 at 12:00. The intended contract period runs from 7 March 2027 to 6 March 2029, with up to three further 12-month extensions and a maximum five-year term. The estimated value is £575,000 excluding VAT (£690,000 including VAT). Evaluation is weighted 60% for quality, 10% for social value and 30% for price. The planned award decision date was 13 January 2027. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This requirement suits providers of business-information and company-data platforms that can deliver searchable web-based access to company records across the UK, Ireland and international markets. Relevant capability includes aggregating filed company information, financials, ownership and debt or equity structures, director and shareholder details, risk analysis and company-related news. Suppliers should be able to provide a coherent subscription service covering the full range of information, rather than a narrowly focused single dataset. The service may be required for a sustained period, including possible extensions, so bidders should be able to support continuity of access throughout the contract. Quality and social value together account for a larger share of the evaluation than price, making service quality and a credible social-value offer important alongside competitive pricing.
