The requirement is for a cloud software service, including the supply of business data, delivered for the council in Derby. The platform is intended to help the council access and use company information for economic insight. The published scope identifies the platform and its purpose but does not break the service down into particular datasets, user numbers or technical features. The procurement was run through the G-Cloud 14 framework, in its cloud software category. The awarded supplier, Business Funding Research Ltd trading as Beauhurst, is a small business, showing that this type of data platform requirement can be met by an SME. The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Business Funding Research Ltd, trading as Beauhurst. The award date was 29 September 2026. The recorded award value is £0, so the published figure does not state a payable contract price. The initial contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 30 September 2027. The council may extend the contract by up to two further 12-month periods, subject to budget and business need, with a maximum end date of 30 September 2029. This was a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, rather than a standalone open competition. The stated framework category was cloud software. The procurement records SME suitability and says the service supports economic growth; no detailed evaluation criteria or additional participation requirements are reported. This award demonstrates demand from Derby City Council for a cloud-hosted company information platform that turns business data into insight for economic growth work. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to offer a usable company-data service and demonstrate how its information supports economic intelligence and growth activity. The selected supplier was an SME, so the requirement was deliverable by a smaller specialist provider rather than being inherently limited to large technology firms. Suppliers should be prepared to compete through a framework call-off route, with a cloud software offer aligned to the relevant framework category. The service is specific to company information and business insight; firms offering unrelated cloud hosting or general consultancy alone would be less well matched unless they can also provide the required data platform capability. ## Notice This procurement was conducted via the G-Cloud 14 Framework, Lot 2 (Cloud Software), for the provision of a cloud-based data platform delivering business insight and intelligence to support economic growth. There is the option to extend for up to 2 x 12 months in annual increments subject to budget and business need the maximum end date will be 30/09/2029 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9eb898a4-dca6-4618-9581-6391edbf09ce | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 29 Sep 2026 | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2026 - 30 Sep 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | 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 | Derby City Council | | Locality | DERBY | | Postcode area | Derby | | Postcode | DE1 2FS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF11 Derby | | Local authority | Derby | | Electoral ward | Darley | | Westminster constituency | Derby South | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | Business Funding Research Ltd | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72319000 - Data supply services ## Release History - 9 Oct 2026 at 12:38 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9eb898a4-dca6-4618-9581-6391edbf09ce - 9 Oct 2026 at 12:33 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1504d3f-8297-48a3-b6b5-c50d66d45ab8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9eb898a4-dca6-4618-9581-6391edbf09ce 9th October 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1504d3f-8297-48a3-b6b5-c50d66d45ab8 9th October 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://app.panacea-software.com/sourceeastmidlands/ Click above to Apply (link to e-procurement portal) ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
