Tussell is the trusted source of insight into UK government contracts, a market worth £270Bn in 2025. In a climate of unprecedented government spending, our market intelligence software helps companies to win more public contracts by making better commercial decisions. Our data is so definitive that even the government relies on it to analyse its own procurement. For a small company, we’ve got a big profile. This underlines both the media resonance of government contract and spend data, and our established position as the authority on this area of public interest. The enhanced transparency that Tussell fosters makes the government more accountable for spending decisions. It also helps to make public procurement more efficient and accessible, which ultimately improves value for money in public services.
