Summary of the contracting process

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is seeking to commission a study titled "Analysis of UK and Global Quantum Technologies Landscape". The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, and although the tender was earlier active, it was ultimately abandoned prior to a contract award decision. The study aims to provide qualitative and quantitative analyses of the UK's quantum technologies research base. The procurement was classified under market research services (CPV code: 79310000), with a budget of £20,000. The initial tender period concluded on 15th September 2016.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in market research services, particularly those with expertise in technology analysis and benchmarking. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are familiar with the quantum technology sector or possess skills in data analysis and research methodologies would be well-positioned to compete for similar future tenders. Companies that are adept in collaborative research efforts and stakeholder engagement may also find valuable prospects as the EPSRC continues to pursue projects aimed at understanding and enhancing the UK's position in the global quantum technology landscape.
