## Summary

The procurement process conducted by the Department for Business & Trade, a central government public authority based in the Old Admiralty Building, London, relates to the renewal of subscriptions for Politico Pro, a specialist policy reporting platform. This contract, titled "Politico Pro Subscription Renewal DBT," falls under the industry category of goods, particularly focusing on industry-specific software packages. The procurement process was completed using a direct method, below the threshold and without competition, with Politico, an SME from Brussels, Belgium, securing the contract. The contract was signed on 30th October 2025, initiating the contract period from this date until 27th July 2027.

This tender provides opportunities for growth primarily for businesses engaged in supplying niche software solutions and policy reporting platforms. Companies similar to Politico that specialise in providing high-value content and user access facilities to government departments, especially those with expertise in legislative and policy areas within the EU and UK, are best suited to pursue such contracts. As this procurement used a direct method under a non-competitive framework, it suggests potential for businesses with existing arrangements or those capable of offering unique, unmatched service offerings to engage in future procurements.

## Notice
