The lotProcurement structure

single lot · no lot value published
Lot #1The key objectives for the services are the provision of:AwardedRenewal

The key objectives for the services are the provision of: <br/><br/>- an analytical tool / scorecards to generate independent and market calibrated credit scores and expected recovery rates on infrastructure, project finance and corporate exposures and provide the underlying credit ratings mapping to probability of default; and <br/><br/>- long-term historical credit data relevant to infrastructure, project finance and corporate exposures to support detailed analysis of probability of default, loss given default / recovery rates and correlations across different sub sections (including geography, sub-sector). <br/><br/>The service will need to include embedded environmental, social and governance ("ESG") factors to support an holistic approach to risk. Ideally the service will provide the ability to take into account ESG data, scores and screening in credit rating and assessment. <br/><br/>The scorecards / database must cover project finance, infrastructure finance and corporate borrowers and the credit database must include data relating to UKIB's strategic sectors (water, energy, transport, digital and waste). <br/><br/>The contract shall commence in November 2023 and the credit rating / scorecard service products shall have a 3 year subscription period. The other service products for which a subscription is provided as part of the solution will be taken out on a 1 year basis with an option to extend for two further 1 year periods.

Delivery: UK
Extensions: Option to extend the non-scorecard elements of the solution by two further one year periods.Variant bids: not allowed
