Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has completed the procurement process for the "Award of Purchase of Building Class Data," aimed at acquiring access to data on building classes across the 32 local authority areas in Scotland. The process falls under the services category related to market and economic research, polling, and statistics. Using a direct procurement method, the contract was awarded without competition to Building Cost Information Service Ltd, with the award letter signed on 11 July 2025 and the contract activation occurring on 7 November 2025. The process is at the award stage, indicating that the contract has already been signed and initiated. This procurement was conducted from Glasgow, where the buyer, located at 5 Atlantic Quay, was responsible, with the tender period extending from 7 November 2025 to 7 October 2026.

This tender creates notable business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers in the market research and statistical data sectors. Companies specialising in offering detailed data analytics services or possessing extensive databases related to the construction industry would find this contract especially beneficial. The decision to award the contract to a single supplier suggests that firms with unique or proprietary offerings may have an advantage in such direct procurement processes. The Building Cost Information Service Ltd, located in Harrogate, has already found success through having distinct capabilities in providing building class data, indicating that other businesses with niche market data solutions might similarly thrive in comparable tenders.
