This is an information technology service supporting automated market intelligence and research activity, rather than a general consultancy or standalone software development project. The requirement is associated with the Government Commercial Agency, with delivery in the East of England. The service is supplied by Forestreet Ltd, a London-based small business. Businesses relevant to this requirement include providers of market intelligence platforms, subscription-based research databases, artificial intelligence tools for procurement or commercial research, and related information technology services. The requirement indicates an interest in using automation to reduce manual market research work and produce structured market information for public sector commercial activity. The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award procedure. The contract was awarded to FORESTREET LTD on 7 August 2026 for £36,750, with a contract period from 14 August 2026 to 13 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026. The award covers the Forestreet market report subscription and associated artificial intelligence market-research tool. The award is active, and the published contract period matches the tendered service period. This was a single-award procurement rather than a multi-lot competition. The procurement is classified as an information technology service. The award route means the buyer selected the supplier directly instead of running an open competition, so the main commercial significance is the buyer’s confirmed requirement and chosen solution for the stated period. For a supplier assessing future demand from this buyer, the award shows a requirement for a focused market-intelligence subscription with artificial intelligence capable of automating or completing market research. Credible competitors would need a reliable research platform, access to relevant market reports or datasets, and technology that can turn those sources into usable research outputs for commercial teams. A subscription model, dependable service delivery and the ability to support public sector market research would also be relevant. The selected supplier is an SME, but the procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so future competitors should be prepared to demonstrate capability and commercial resilience rather than rely on a reserved opportunity. Relevant businesses include specialist research platforms, procurement technology providers and AI-enabled information services. ## Notice AI tool to auto complete market research ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1d829d4e-9bd0-4f53-ba11-04f559889659 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Direct Award | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 31 Jul 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | 14 Aug 2026 - 13 Aug 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £36,750 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £36,750 | | 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 | Government Commercial Agency | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Postcode area | Liverpool | | Postcode | L3 9PP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | City Centre North | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | FORESTREET LTD | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72222300 - Information technology services ## Release History - 12 Aug 2026 at 16:00 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1d829d4e-9bd0-4f53-ba11-04f559889659 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1d829d4e-9bd0-4f53-ba11-04f559889659 12th August 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5738f150-aa82-4b14-8b3f-a37dad88c5e2 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/crown-commercial-service ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
