UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero purchased a 12-month subscription to Oxford Economics’ services, to support policy delivery and advice. The requirement is classified as energy-related services. This is a subscription service rather than a physical supply or construction project; the published description does not define specific datasets, analytical outputs or policy areas covered. The buying organisation is a central government department based in London. The work supports the department’s policy function, but no separate delivery location is identified.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Oxford Economics; the contract is active and was signed on 6 October 2026. It runs from 6 October 2026 to 6 October 2027. The contract value is £94,995 excluding VAT (£113,994 including VAT). The process used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. It was structured as a single lot. The published procurement data does not state a separate award date, evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows demand from the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero for a specialist economic research subscription to inform energy policy, alongside advice supporting policy delivery. Oxford Economics, a large supplier, was selected, demonstrating that a provider able to supply relevant economic insight and subscription access can meet this requirement. Businesses competing for a future version should be credible in supplying policy-relevant economic analysis and advising a central government department; they should also be able to support ongoing access to their research and services over a sustained subscription. The procurement was placed directly without competition, so the route used for this purchase did not test competing offers. The description does not identify specific analytical products, technical standards or accreditations as selection requirements.
