## Summary

Cardiff Metropolitan University procured licences and a subscription to LSEG’s cloud-based financial market information platform. This is a financial data and information subscription service for the university, delivered in Cardiff, Wales. The requirement covers access to the platform rather than a separately described implementation or consultancy service.

The procurement is complete and awarded to LSEG, which also signed the contract. Cardiff Metropolitan University used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2027. Its value is £116,666 excluding VAT (£140,000 including VAT). The requirement was arranged as a single lot. The published process outcome records one selected supplier; no comparative evaluation criteria are stated for this direct award.

This award shows Cardiff Metropolitan University’s demand for licensed access to a cloud-based financial market information platform. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide a dependable platform containing financial market information, together with subscription access and licensing suited to an institutional customer. The selected provider is a large supplier, indicating that an established platform provider is well placed to meet this requirement. Suppliers should be able to sustain access throughout the contract term and support users’ ongoing need for market information. The award was made directly without competition, so it also demonstrates that the university has used a non-competitive route for this purchase; it does not establish that future requirements will use the same route.
