## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has completed a contracting process to acquire data management services from Dun & Bradstreet Limited through a selective procurement method as part of the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) G-Cloud framework. The procurement process falls under the industry category "Data management services" and was conducted as a direct award due to technical reasons, ensuring compliance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract commenced on 1st March 2026 and will run until 28th February 2027, with a total contract value of £25,978 GBP. The delivery of services covers multiple locations, including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and beyond.

This contract represents an opportunity for large-scale data management service providers to align with government departments tasked with meeting specific reporting targets on supplier classifications. The selective procurement method not only streamlines the process but also reflects a targeted opportunity for businesses that can leverage their expertise in data classification and reporting, typically suited for established entities capable of providing specialised services that adhere to regulatory standards. This contract does not cater to SMEs or VCSEs, focusing instead on larger scale service providers like Dun & Bradstreet, offering a more suitable fit for organisations looking to expand their government sector portfolio.

## Notice

As a government department, we are required to publish our annual targets for spend with Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs). To ensure we can report this information accurately, we have established a contract with Dun and Bradstreet (D&B), who provide specialist services to classify our suppliers against these categories. D&B was selected through the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) G-Cloud framework. In line with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR2015), a direct award was made for this below threshold procurement as 'competition is absent for technical reasons'.
