## Summary

The public procurement process initiated by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) relates to the "POLITICO Pro Essential Package" and is focused on procuring subscription services. This contract supports the CMA's case teams by providing political, regulatory, and legislative intelligence for internal research and casework. Located in London, the contracting authority operates at a central government level in the UK. The procurement method was direct and valued below the threshold, thus proceeded without competition. The contract for these services was signed on 14th April 2026, and the services will be delivered until 13th April 2027. The project falls under the service category, with POLITICO SRL based in Brussels being the supplier.

This tender creates business growth opportunities primarily for companies providing subscription services in sectors dealing with political and legislative intelligence. Firms already working in public sector research, regulatory affairs, or with specialised reporting capabilities may find this opportunity particularly relevant. Although this particular contract is complete, similar future procurement processes could appeal to small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and those adept in providing specialist content packages, given the preference for direct procurement and tailored service offerings by central government entities like the CMA.
