The purpose is to support the council’s strategic planning and the design of future procurement exercises. The buying organisation is Buckinghamshire Council’s e-Tendering System, based at The Gateway, Gatehouse Road, Aylesbury. The procurement is categorised as services and the software classification is CPV 48482000. The listed delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is therefore relevant to suppliers of market intelligence platforms, business intelligence software and associated research or data services. This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Oxygen Finance Limited was selected as supplier on 18 August 2026 for £40,368, with the award recorded as active. The contract period runs from 19 March 2026 to 18 March 2029. The tender submission deadline was 18 March 2026 at 17:50 UTC. The procurement method is recorded as “Other”. The contract is for services rather than goods or works, and the published procurement information identifies the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. There is one recorded award and one supplier; the awarded value is not a total across multiple lots. For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need to provide a market intelligence solution that supports structured research and reliable data gathering before procurement decisions are made. The relevant capability is a business intelligence software platform combined with services that help users turn market evidence into strategic procurement planning and better-designed purchasing activity. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate a product suitable for a public-sector buyer and capable of supporting work across the council’s stated geographic coverage. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so the strongest fit is likely to be an established provider with the capacity to deliver and support a council-wide service. ## Notice Procurement for a Market Intelligence Solution to allow research to be undertaken and data gathered before to support the strategic planning and design of procurement activity ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ee20d1e-f838-4647-a620-56ed3d77af84 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 18 Mar 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | 19 Mar 2026 - 18 Mar 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,368 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £40,368 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Buckinghamshire Council - e-Tendering System | | Locality | AYLESBURY | | Postcode area | Hemel Hempstead | | Postcode | HP19 8FF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ13 Buckinghamshire | | Local authority | Buckinghamshire | | Electoral ward | Aylesbury North West | | Westminster constituency | Aylesbury | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | Oxygen Finance Limited | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48482000 - Business intelligence software package ## Release History - 20 Aug 2026 at 10:49 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ee20d1e-f838-4647-a620-56ed3d77af84 - 20 Aug 2026 at 10:48 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ee20d1e-f838-4647-a620-56ed3d77af84 - 20 Aug 2026 at 10:46 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ee20d1e-f838-4647-a620-56ed3d77af84 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ee20d1e-f838-4647-a620-56ed3d77af84 20th August 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
