## Summary

The Department for Business & Trade bought renewed licences for the Company Watch Platform, an industry-specific software package. It is used to run financial checks on existing suppliers and bidders in procurement exercises, inform future tenders, and provide market information when required. The contract is for platform access rather than a separately described consulting or implementation service. Delivery is in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Department awarded the single lot directly to Company Watch Limited, without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 15 October 2026 and runs from 15 October 2026 to 14 October 2028. Its value is £12,085.20 excluding tax, or £14,502.24 including tax. The tender was evaluated through a direct award; no separate award criteria are recorded.

This purchase shows demand at the Department for Business & Trade for software that supports financial checks on suppliers and procurement bidders, and provides market intelligence. Company Watch Limited was selected for the platform, so a credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate reliable business financial-risk information and practical tools for assessing supplier and bidder financial standing. The system would also need to support procurement teams’ use of that information for future tender planning and market research. The requirement is a platform licence purchase, indicating that suppliers focused solely on bespoke advisory work or unrelated software are less closely aligned.
