## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, involves the acquisition of the SBREC Business Dataset - Global. This contract falls within the services category and is aimed at supporting pre-startups, sole traders, micro, and small businesses by providing access to specialist market intelligence databases. The procurement stage is completed, with an award made to GlobalData UK Ltd, a large supplier based in London. The contract, valued at £175,443.6, was signed on 14 April 2026 and is set to commence on 8 May 2026, lasting until 7 May 2029. The procurement method was direct, without competition, and respected local authority rates, ensuring value for money and alignment with SBREC's service standards.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for entities involved in providing industry-specific datasets and market intelligence services. The contract ensures that SBREC can deliver high-quality guidance to its users, bolstering the competitiveness and success prospects of small businesses in the UK. Businesses that excel in data analysis, trend forecasting, and demographic insights and have unique, authoritative data offerings would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts. The strategic alignment with SBREC's objectives provides suppliers with a platform to expand their market reach and enhance their credibility as industry authorities, thereby potentially generating further opportunities for collaboration and growth in supporting small business development.

## Notice

The Small Business Research & Enterprise Centre (SBREC) allocates an annual budget of PS162,000 to procure specialist market intelligence databases that provide data not freely available elsewhere. These resources are essential for SBREC's members--pre-startups, sole traders, micro and small businesses--who cannot afford commercial subscriptions. SBREC purchases these datasets at academic and local authority rates, ensuring strong value for money. All databases are reviewed annually to confirm their uniqueness, return on investment, and alignment with SBREC's service standards. Providers are recognised industry authorities and are the sole publishers of their datasets. GlobalData is a key resource for SBREC, offering in-depth, analyst generated market, sector, company, brand, and demographic data that cannot be replicated by other sources. Its forecasts, trend analysis, and global insights support business planning, funding applications, market entry decisions, and growth strategies. Access to this credible, authoritative data significantly strengthens the competitiveness and success prospects of small businesses. Without GlobalData, SBREC would be unable to provide the high-quality guidance required by its users, limiting the support available to businesses at critical stages of development. As the data is unique and essential, the absence of this resource could lead to weaker business planning and an increased risk of business failure, with wider negative implications for the UK economy.
