UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade procured a renewal of the Maltego Monitor platform, a software and information system for monitoring open-source activity. The platform uses intelligent keyword searches to track content across news outlets, forums and social media. The requirement is for monitoring capability rather than a broader investigative or general IT service. The buying organisation is the Department for Business & Trade, a central government department. The procurement data does not identify a delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Department for Business & Trade awarded the contract to Maltego Technologies GmbH. It used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The award date was 22 September 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 23 September 2026 to 22 September 2027. Its value is £51,095 excluding VAT (£61,314 including VAT). The procurement was treated as a single lot. The published information describes the platform's monitoring function but does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Business & Trade for software that can monitor open-source activity through keyword searches across news outlets, forums and social media. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need to offer a platform with those monitoring and search capabilities, suitable for the department's use. Maltego Technologies GmbH, an SME, was selected through a direct award without competition, so the process provides evidence of the supplier chosen and the procurement route used, rather than evidence of competitive scoring or specific technical accreditations. Suppliers with a focused monitoring product matching this scope are the relevant competitors; general software provision alone would not establish a fit.
