## Summary

The procurement process titled "NDTP - Ontology" was managed by the Department for Business and Trade, headquartered in London, England. This process falls under the industry category of data services and involves the development and refinement of an Information Exchange System (IES). The selective procurement method was employed, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, to identify suitable suppliers. The tender reached the award stage with the contract valued at £600,000, and its period extends from 7th May 2025 to 7th May 2026. The completion status of the tender indicates a successful conclusion, with awards made to Belay Limited and Viable Data Ltd, ensuring a distribution of tasks across various UK and international locations.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in data services, particularly those capable of delivering ontological support to complex information systems across multi-sector environments. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete in such procurement processes, given the call for adaptable, robust, and scalable solutions. Companies with expertise in maintaining compatibility with existing standards and frameworks can benefit from participating in similar tenders, thereby enhancing their visibility and expanding their market reach in both domestic and international arenas.

## Notice

The NDTP requires a team of ontologists to support the ongoing development, extension, and refinement of IES. IES is a critical component of the IA, providing a common ontology that facilitates seamless information exchange across various sectors and data sources. The challenge is to ensure that the IES remains robust, scalable, and adaptable to the evolving needs of multiple sectors, while maintaining compatibility with existing standards and frameworks.
