## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council has completed a public procurement process titled "Knowledge Mining" in the services industry. This project was part of an effort to advance a proof-of-concept into a deliverable product, utilising 25 days of support from Simpson Associates Information Services Limited. The procurement process was conducted through a direct method, specifically below the threshold without competition, and falls under a concession special regime. The process reached the award stage and the contract is valued at £36,648 gross, with the contract period running from 3rd November 2025 to 27th February 2026. The project is based in the region of UKE in the United Kingdom.

This contract presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in data capture services and related industries. Given its nature and the direct procurement method, it is particularly well-suited for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Simpson Associates, who have established the initial proof of concept and have been tasked with transforming it into an actionable solution. The opportunity illustrates how public sector projects can provide a platform for businesses to demonstrate and expand their capabilities in innovative data service solutions.
