## Summary

The recent procurement process undertaken by the Scottish Government concluded with the award of a contract for a subscription to the S&P Global Purchasing Managers Index. This project, focused on market and economic research, falls under the services category and is pertinent to the UK and its regions. The procurement process reached the award stage on 11th May 2026, following a direct purchasing method, meaning the contract was awarded to a single supplier without competitive bidding. The procurement was initiated on 4th January 2026, and the awarded supplier is S&P Global Market Intelligence LLC, based in New York, USA. The work involves the provision of pertinent market data crucial for economic analysis.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in economic and market research services, particularly those specialising in data analytics and regional market assessments. Although this specific contract used a direct procurement method with S&P Global Market Intelligence LLC, it highlights potential avenues for similar businesses to offer specialised services through bespoke contracts directly with government bodies. Businesses that can provide unique insights and comprehensive data analysis will find opportunities to partner with the government for projects requiring specialised economic intelligence, offering a path to broaden their client base and influence in the public sector.
