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 will be seeking multiple providers, including the potential for a single supplier to provide data for more than one lot. DBT's intention is for the estimated budget of £6,958,629 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 12-months with two optional 12-month extensions.
It is anticipated that the tender will be launched in January 2025 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.
