## Summary

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has concluded a procurement process for "Project- 4392 Provision of Financial Background Checking Tool." This contract involves the provision of three licences for D&B's global company data tool, Risk Analytics, by Dun&Bradstreet Ltd, enabling the DBT to perform assurance checks on potential investing companies. The procurement was executed through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and falls under the industry category of database software packages.

The total contract value is £88,600 and the procurement status is complete, having been most recently updated on 26th September 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the software and data analytics sector, particularly those specialising in risk management and financial analysis tools. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find potential in collaborating or becoming subcontractors. Given the exclusive nature of the call-off agreement under a pre-determined framework, businesses already included in these frameworks may enhance their portfolio and expand their reach to public sector clients, potentially leading to further opportunities within the governmental market space.
