## Summary

The procurement process conducted by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), a central government public authority located in London, entails a subscription service for a proprietary companies database. This service supports the CMA’s internal research and statutory functions, falling into the category of data services within the wider services industry. The procurement was carried out using a direct method described as "Below threshold - without competition" and has reached its award stage, with key dates including the contract signing on 11th March 2026, and the contract's validity extending from this date to 6th March 2027. The geographical focus is the United Kingdom, indicating a strong emphasis on local data services.

This tender presents a unique business opportunity particularly for large-scale organisations specialising in data services and analytics. The successful supplier, MOODY'S ANALYTICS UK LIMITED, implies that similar businesses with the capability to provide comprehensive database subscription services could be well-suited for future tenders of this nature. The direct procurement method employed suggests that businesses with established relationships or recognised authority in the required service area stand a better chance in such processes, thereby encouraging companies to enhance their subject-matter expertise and visibility within the relevant industry networks.
