## Summary

The Competition and Markets Authority has completed a procurement process titled "Subscription to PaRR Database," classified under research services (CPV code 73110000). This direct tender action was initiated to provide regulatory and policy data, with a total contract value of £17,000. The tender was awarded on 19 March 2018 and the contract runs from 13 April 2018 until 12 April 2020.
