## Summary

The Cabinet Office procured access for staff across Whitehall to the DataCity online platform, together with additional platform functionality for its Investment Security Unit. The requirement combines access to a digital platform with software and data services. The contract is for use across the United Kingdom. The platform is intended to support cross-government staff, while the added functionality is specifically for the Investment Security Unit. The recorded service scope also includes platform and licence access, quality assurance and making lists available to named users, monthly updates, and training and technical support.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Data City Innovations Ltd. The Cabinet Office used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2027, with an option for a further 12 months subject to budget approval. Its value is £77,000 excluding VAT (£92,400 including VAT). There was one lot. The contract’s agreed service measures cover platform and licence access, quality assurance and lists for named users, monthly updates, and training and technical support. No separate evaluation basis is stated.

This award demonstrates demand from the Cabinet Office for a specialist online platform that can be used across Whitehall, with tailored functionality for the Investment Security Unit. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need to provide dependable multi-user platform and licence access, maintain and quality-assure data lists for named users, and deliver regular updates. The service also calls for the capability to train users and provide ongoing technical support. Suppliers should be able to serve both a broad central-government user base and a specific security-focused unit, and sustain the platform and support functions as a coherent service. The selected supplier is a small and medium-sized enterprise, showing that this requirement was delivered by a supplier of that scale.
