Description
The Department for Business and Trade ("DBT") has a potential
requirement for the provision of generalist company and supply level
datasets & risk datasets.
The Secretary of State for DBT is the contracting authority responsible for
meeting this anticipated requirement. DBT intends to publish the Contract
Notice 12/12/2024.
The full specification shall be provided with the contract documents but it
is expected to incorporate:
Lot 1: Generalist Company and Supply Level Data
The requirement for datasets that fulfil the mandatory criteria for one or
more of the following:
- 1 - Trading relationships between businesses ('A' supplies 'B')
- 2 - Products produced by a business, or at a business facility ('A' sells '
steel' OR 'steel' is made at 'X')
- 3 - Locations of business activity ('A' has a factory at 'X')
- 4 - Transactions between facilities owned by businesses (Factory at 'X'
owned by 'A' sends goods to Factory 'Y' owned by 'B' on 'Z' date)
Lot 2: Risk Data
The requirement for datasets that contain:
- 1 - Company-level risk information
- 2 - Country-level risk information
It is anticipated the contract shall be for a period of up to 36 months,
including any available contract option(s). The requirement has an
estimated total value of £7,000,000 (inc-VAT) and this value includes any
available contract option(s).
DBT leads a cross-government programme that combines both government (HMG), private
sector and open-source datasets to build detailed global supply chain maps at commodity
and company level using a third- party ring-fenced graph style database stored on DBT's
own environment.
DBT intends to develop a multi-lot tender with each lot covering a dataset type. Additional
dataset types are likely to be procured early in the new year.
The proposed structure will be:
- Lot 1: Generalist Company and Supply Level Data
- Lot 2: Risk Data
DBT will be seeking multiple providers across all the lots, including the potential for a
single supplier to provide data for more than one lot. DBT's intention is for the estimated
budget of £7,000,000 over 36 months to be allocated across the lots and the contracts,
for clarity this figure shall not be available to a single provider and DBT is looking for a
diversity of supply chain data from multiple suppliers. It is proposed that the contracts will
begin in April 2025 and will be for a duration of up to 3 years.
It is anticipated that the tender will be launched in December 2024 with contracts being
awarded in February 2025 and commencing in April 2025.
This procurement is subject to internal governance, should the authority proceed to
competition the full details of the requirement and ITT shall be published on Find a Tender
Service and Contracts Finder with participation instructions.
