## Summary

The South Oxfordshire District Council, in collaboration with the Vale of White Horse District Council, has successfully completed the procurement process for a "Company Information Database" aimed at enhancing their capability to analyse local economic activity, particularly in Enterprise Zones and the wider Science Vale area. This procurement, categorised under services, involved an open competition process that was below the threshold. The contract was awarded to BUSINESS FUNDING RESEARCH LTD on 4th August 2025, with the contract running until August 2028. The councils are located in Abingdon, UK, and the contract delivery is focused in the UKJ14 region, aligning with their local economic development strategies.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software packages, information systems, and financial services. Companies that have developed platforms or solutions that focus on economic analysis, financial stability, or risk management would have a competitive edge. As the contract supports SMEs, it is conducive for smaller enterprises aiming to expand their clientele and influence within the government sector. Additionally, the procurement's focus on open competition and emphasis on quality, carbon reduction, social value, and price opens doors for innovative proposals that align with current governmental priorities.
