## Summary

The University of Edinburgh, a body governed by public law, has completed a procurement process for the provision of Corporate and Financial Datasets, classified under subscription services (CPV code: 79980000). The procurement was conducted through an award procedure without prior publication due to the absence of competition for technical reasons. The service location is within the UKM75 region, and the contract was awarded to LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) for a financial contract value of £406,332.41. The project, aimed at supporting staff and student research at the University of Edinburgh Business School, was finalised on 31st March 2026, marking the completion of the contract stage.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in specialised financial data services, which can aid academic and research institutions. While the procurement process was limited and attributed to LSEG due to the unique technical capabilities required, businesses with similar technical expertise and unique data offerings may find opportunities in procurement processes that demand specialised datasets. Such contracts cater to service providers with comprehensive, historical, and proprietary datasets that fulfill specific institutional needs, making them ideal for innovative data firms focusing on niche market requirements.
