Market Intelligence and Document Search Platform
The contract covers subscription access to an established, web-based market intelligence and document search platform for the Financial Reporting Council (FRC), the UK regulator for auditors, accountants and actuaries and the body responsible for setting the UK Corporate Governance and Stewardship Codes. The platform must provide aggregated and indexed national and global content across markets within the FRC’s remit, supporting market insight, horizon scanning and evidence-based policy development. The required service is an existing platform rather than a purpose-built solution, with searchable document content and reliable access to relevant market intelligence. The estimated contract value is £100,000, although the tender details do not specify the subscription duration or delivery timeframe. Services will be delivered across the United Kingdom, including the UKG31 and UKI regions. The critical qualification requirement is the ability to provide an established web-based platform with aggregated, indexed content covering the FRC’s in-scope markets.
