| Notice Type: | Award notice |
| Buyer: | Department for Business & Trade |
| Main Category: | Services |
| Procurement Method: | Direct award |
| Method Rationale: | The Department requires access to a dataset capable of analysing global investment activity, corporate structures, and ownership relationships to support national security and investment monitoring. The Moody’s Orbis platform is uniquely capable of meeting these requirements, as it integrates firm-level financial data, ownership structures, and cross-border investment activity within a single dataset. Extensive testing and external academic validation confirm that no alternative supplier provides equivalent breadth, depth, or longitudinal capability. Competing providers are limited to narrower use cases such as ownership transparency or compliance and do not enable policy-grade analysis. As such, there is no viable competition in the market for this requirement, and a direct award is justified. |
