## Summary

Scottish Enterprise is procuring a global investment database service. The appointed supplier will provide a database covering venture capital and infrastructure investment activity across countries, regions and sectors, enabling Scottish Enterprise to identify and analyse investment activity. This is a specialist business intelligence and data service rather than a supply of physical goods or construction work. The service is classified under CPV 72320000, relating to database services. Delivery is for Scottish Enterprise in Scotland. The requirement is a single service lot and includes the provision of the database capability needed to support analysis of international investment markets. It is likely to suit providers of investment intelligence platforms, financial and economic data, market research databases, or related analytical information services.

The process has reached tender: Scottish Enterprise invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids were due by 11:00 on 11 September 2026, with bid opening scheduled for 12:00 that day. The contract period is 8 October 2026 to 7 October 2027. The stated value is £140,000, based on a possible four-year term: an initial year followed by three optional one-year extensions. Bids must be submitted in English, remain valid for 90 days after the deadline, and cannot include variants. The award period begins at 12:00 on 11 September 2026. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, and electronic invoicing is permitted. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity suits suppliers with an established global investment data platform and the ability to collect, structure and maintain reliable information on venture capital and infrastructure investment across multiple countries, regions and sectors. Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate database design, data integration, search and analytical functionality, with staff whose names and professional qualifications can be provided. The work favours organisations experienced in investment intelligence, financial data, economic research or comparable business information services, including firms able to support users in analysing activity across markets and sectors. Consortia and joint ventures can compete through a nominated lead organisation, with members accepting joint and several liability. Specialist subcontractors may also be used, subject to the required self-declarations and procurement checks. Bidders must complete the required Climate Change Plan template.
