## Summary

The procurement process, led by Transport for London, involves a contract titled "TfL 97147 - Access to MSCI Property Benchmarking Data" aimed at securing continued access to MSCI's property benchmarking data, indices, and associated analytics for portfolio benchmarking and reporting. The contract was directly awarded to MSCI LIMITED based on the specific requirements and unique capabilities of the supplier, with a procurement method classified as a "Direct award". The procurement is currently in the "Award" stage, with the contract commencing on 22nd June 2026 and scheduled to end on 21st June 2028. The main procurement category for this opportunity is services, and it supports Transport for London's operations in the UKI41 region, specifically within London, United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in data analytics, real estate benchmarking, and related services. It particularly benefits companies capable of delivering specialised data solutions and analytics modules that cater to portfolio analysis and decision support needs. Although this direct award limits the supplier pool to MSCI LIMITED due to their proprietary capabilities, similar businesses that can provide unique and comparable benchmarking services may find potential growth opportunities by exploring indirect partnerships or future provisions under new contracts. Companies focusing on bespoke analytics tools and data solutions would be well-suited to consider how they can differentiate and position themselves in such niche markets for future tender processes.

## Notice

The contract is for continued access to specified MSCI property benchmarking data, benchmark-linked indices and associated real estate analytics required by Places for London to support portfolio benchmarking, valuation activity, lease-linked index activity, and internal and external performance reporting. The requirement also includes only those associated analytics modules, user access arrangements and reporting capabilities that remain necessary for portfolio analysis and decision support.

### Procurement Information

The contracting authority intends to directly award this contract under section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 relying on Schedule 5 paragraph 5, on the basis that only one supplier can provide the required service and there is no reasonable alternative. The requirement is for continued access to specified MSCI benchmark-linked real estate data and indices used for portfolio benchmarking, valuation, lease-linked index activity and performance reporting. MSCI is the only supplier identified as capable of providing this specific benchmark-linked requirement in full. The relevant benchmark content is proprietary, derived from confidential contributor data, and no functionally equivalent, independently verified and longitudinally consistent alternative has been identified that would preserve the existing methodology, peer set and valid time series. A change in supplier would create material legal, commercial and operational risk, including loss of continuity and comparability. The authority has therefore limited the scope to the minimum necessary benchmark-linked requirement and considers direct award to be the most proportionate route.
