The problem

Where the research goes today.

  • Procurement research spans several portals

    Contracts Finder, Find a Tender, Companies House and spend data all answer different parts of the same question.

  • Local economic intelligence is dated

    Business population, sector mix and growth are usually quoted from statistics that lag the companies themselves by a year or more.

  • Market engagement needs a reliable shortlist

    Identifying SMEs, VCSEs and local suppliers who can genuinely deliver requires evidence, not a directory.

Example questions

Ask it the way you would ask an analyst.

  • “Which SMEs in our district have won contracts from other public bodies in the last two years?”
  • “How much did we and neighbouring councils pay this supplier last year?”
  • “Show the business population of this constituency by sector and growth.”
  • “Which local suppliers in this CPV category are financially resilient?”
  • “Which of our top 50 suppliers changed ownership this year?”

Example MCP workflow

How the investigation runs.

  1. 1. Ask

    An officer asks a procurement, spend or economy question in plain English.

  2. 2. Investigate

    The agent queries the entitled modules and aggregates where a count is enough, pulling records only where detail is needed.

  3. 3. Connect

    Awards, payments, accounts and ownership are joined on registration number.

  4. 4. Brief

    The answer arrives with sources, dates and a methodology note suitable for a committee paper.

Understanding the request

The agent breaks the question into the conditions it must satisfy.

  • Geography: Croydon
  • Sector: digital
  • Age: under 5 years
  • Growth

Each condition maps to one or more DataGardener intelligence layers. Nothing is guessed: if a condition cannot be evidenced, the agent says so.

  • Financial Intelligence
  • Local and Regional Economy
