MIST
Market Intelligence Signal Tracker
MIST helps organisations see the market move.
MIST — Market Intelligence Signal Tracker — is a unique, in-house developed public-sector procurement intelligence system created by Edwards Consulting. It is used internally to collect, organise and interpret public-sector procurement signals.
Intelligence should be evidenced, traceable and auditable.
What MIST observes
Visible procurement activity, organised into signals.
MIST focuses on public-sector procurement evidence, not general business or consumer market research.
Buyer activity
Activity from public-sector buyers, including repeated demand and changes in buying behaviour.
Frameworks
Framework openings, awards, renewals and routes to market.
Opportunity movement
How live, planned and awarded opportunities move across time and place.
Regional and sector signals
Regional demand and sector-specific signals that help show where attention is needed.
Recurring procurement patterns
Repeated buyer needs, cycles and patterns that may indicate future opportunity.
How MIST works
The system is internal infrastructure. The intelligence is the product.
Clients do not buy access to the software. Clients receive intelligence outputs created from public-sector procurement evidence.
MIST was developed to make public-sector procurement activity easier to observe, understand and act upon through preserved evidence, source truth and auditable intelligence.

Buyer activity summaries
Plain-English summaries of what public-sector buyers are doing.

Bespoke research outputs
Focused research for a specific sector, region, buyer group or procurement question.
Evidence before interpretation.
MIST begins with observed public-sector activity: procurement notices, public-sector buyers, frameworks, opportunity movement, regional demand, sector-specific signals and recurring procurement patterns. Interpretation comes after the evidence has been gathered and organised.
Useful outputs.
The capability supports the client outputs above without presenting MIST as software sold to clients.
MIST tracks signals that can shape practical choices.
Its purpose is practical: to make public-sector procurement movement more visible, more organised and more useful.
