## Summary

Scottish Enterprise has awarded a contract for the "Searchable Database of UK Companies" aimed at enhancing access to critical investment market information through a suitable subscription database. This service is categorised under the economic affairs industry, and it is located in Glasgow, UK. The contract commenced in mid-June 2020 for a duration of 12 months, with an option for renewal for an additional year. The procurement process utilised an open procedure, and the contract value was set at £21,500.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in database services, particularly SMEs capable of providing comprehensive access to investment-related information.
